GATEWAY ORCHESTRATION
Stop Managing Gateways. Start Orchestrating Revenue.
Usage-based billing across legacy API gateways, MCP servers, and AI Agents is a mess of glue code and data lag. Aforo is the single, low-latency control plane that unifies catalog discovery, ingestion, and enforcement across your entire traditional and GenAI stack.
Not another gateway. Not another silo. The intelligent orchestration layer that makes your entire API estate profitable and governable from one platform.
THE FOUR PILLARS
Universal Gateway Orchestration.
Your infrastructure is set. Aforo makes it intelligent. We integrate deeply with enterprise gateways to automate the four critical lifecycle tasks.
Automated Catalog Discovery
Point Aforo at MuleSoft or Apigee. We automatically parse route definitions to discover, index, and version your APIs and MCP servers. No manual data entry.
Zero-Lag Ingestion
Native plugins emit events directly to our pipeline. We capture high-volume telemetry across legacy and modern stacks in under 5ms, with zero log-shipping delays.
Edge Enforcement
Push margin guard and entitlement logic directly to the gateway. Block unprofitable or unauthorized requests at the edge via Redis-cached checks before they cost you compute.
Automated Identity Sync
Eliminate custom provisioning scripts. When a subscription upgrades in Aforo, API keys and permissions are instantly synchronized across your entire multi-cloud gateway estate.
“We have 4 different gateways and no way to see total usage per customer.”
Each gateway has its own analytics dashboard, its own API key format, and its own rate-limiting model. Engineering maintains custom sync scripts between each gateway and the billing system. When a script breaks, customers get billed wrong. Nobody finds out until the dispute arrives.
A unified view and control layer across every cloud and every gateway provider.
Aforo aggregates usage, entitlements, and API keys from all gateways into one platform. One catalog. One billing pipeline. One entitlement engine. Engineers delete the sync scripts. Finance gets a single source of truth.
FOR THE PLATFORM ARCHITECT
Decoupled Logic. Unified Execution.
Aforo decouples business logic — billing, plans, margin policies, entitlements — from infrastructure complexity. Your gateways handle traffic. Aforo handles the monetization math. The two communicate through a low-latency orchestration layer that processes entitlement checks in less than 5ms via Redis-cached policies.
This means your platform architects do not need to embed billing conditionals in gateway configuration. Rate plans, margin floors, and feature gates are defined centrally in Aforo and enforced at the edge — across every gateway in your estate simultaneously.
Switch Gateways, Keep Your Revenue.
Gateways change. Cloud strategies evolve. Acquisitions bring new stacks. Aforo abstracts the gateway layer so your commercial strategy — rate plans, entitlements, and margin policies — persists across multi-cloud expansions and vendor transitions. Rewrite zero billing code when your infrastructure evolves.
The First Orchestration Plane Built for AI Agents.
Traditional gateways meter API calls. Aforo meters reasoning — tokens, tool invocations, agent sessions, and multi-step chains.
