As its new, it may not be as feature rich as Kong. But, given time, they will get there.

Documentations can improve, which can make it slightly challenging to implement at the start, but this is supplemented with a team who works with you very closely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What is there to dislike? It's just awesome! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apisix builds on battle-tested components such as OpenResty and, by extension, Nginx. We were looking for a reverse proxy for our RestAPI and wanted the proxy to handle authentication via OpenID Connect, which Apisix seemed to be best suited for at the time. And while it did not work with the release at the time, we were able to troubleshoot the Lua code and submit a patch, which was quickly processed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

By its very nature, compared to Caddy or Traefik, Apisix has a much larger footprint and more extensive configuration options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I greatly appreciate the ability to use APISIX within Kubernetes clusters. Users gain a direct and easy way to configure how API traffic reaches their services.

The fact that it is a project under the wing of the Apache Software Foundation is an added bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Every project has some flaws. The ones I encountered were either in the process of being fixed, were fixed after I flagged them up, or I was able to fix them myself in the form of a Pull Request - after all, it's an open source project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The community behind the project is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
