Red Hat 3scale API Management is a full-lifecycle API management platform used by platform engineers, API teams, and enterprise architects to secure, publish, rate-limit, and monetize APIs. It operates on a hybrid-cloud architecture that separates the API gateway (APIcast, NGINX-based) from the API manager control plane, allowing traffic to stay on customer infrastructure while policy configuration is centralized. Post-acquisition by Red Hat in 2016, it is distributed as a Red Hat subscription product, deployable on OpenShift on-premises, in the cloud, or as a Red Hat-managed SaaS tenant.
