About Gravitee

Gravitee is how you can finally manage event streams and agentic AI as securely and easily as traditional APIs – and bring together all your APIs in one place, no matter the gateway, broker or agent. Companies want to share more event-driven data than ever, but constant constraints – from security concerns to inflexible tech, to a lack of discoverability and more – keep getting in the way. But when you can bring all your APIs together, build your API program without limits, and be ahead of where APIs are going, you can hold nothing back. That’s why 100+ global organizations rely on Gravitee, and it’s why we’re a leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for API management.
