Flex Gateway is a lightweight, high-performance API gateway provided by MuleSoft,

designed to manage and secure APIs. It is part of MuleSoft’s ecosystem and serves
as a modern solution for deploying APIs across different environments, such as
cloud, on-premises, Kubernetes, and edge devices.
Key Features of Flex Gateway

Platform Independence:
Can run in any environment, including Docker, Kubernetes, bare metal, and
virtual machines.
Works well in hybrid and multi-cloud architectures.

High Performance:
Built with a lightweight architecture optimized for minimal latency and
high throughput.

Centralized Management:
Managed through the Anypoint Platform, MuleSoft’s unified platform for API
design, deployment, and monitoring.
Provides centralized visibility and control over all APIs.

Security:
Offers robust security features such as authentication, authorization, and
threat protection.
Supports policies for rate limiting, IP whitelisting, and data masking.

Integration with MuleSoft:


Seamlessly integrates with MuleSoft’s broader API lifecycle management
tools.
Supports both Mule APIs and non-Mule APIs.

Event-Driven and API-Driven:


Designed to handle modern use cases, including API-first and event-driven
architectures.

Deployment Models

Flex Gateway can be deployed in two modes:

Connected Mode:
Directly managed via the Anypoint Platform.
Offers full visibility and real-time management capabilities.

Local Mode:
Managed locally for environments where cloud connectivity is limited or
restricted.
Provides a self-managed gateway option.

Use Cases

API Security and Management:


Protect APIs with advanced security policies.
Manage traffic and enforce SLAs for API consumers.

Modern Microservices Architectures:


Act as a gateway for microservices in containerized environments.

Hybrid Integration:
Enable consistent API management across on-premises and cloud environments.
Edge Deployments:
Deploy at the edge for low-latency access to APIs.

Benefits

Flexibility: Deployable in diverse environments without being tied to a single


infrastructure.
Scalability: Supports growing API traffic and adapts to modern architectural
patterns.
Simplicity: Easy to set up and manage through the Anypoint Platform.
Security: Enhances protection for APIs and ensures compliance with security
standards.

Flex Gateway is ideal for enterprises looking to manage APIs in a flexible, high-
performance, and secure manner while leveraging MuleSoft's API lifecycle management
capabilities.
