API Gateways

Deploy your API gateway on ultra low-latency microVMs that scale up when required and cost nothing when idle.

Scale up in milliseconds during a spike

Autoscale adds gateway instances as traffic climbs and removes them as it subsides, down to zero when nothing is arriving.

scale up in < 10 ms
VM-level isolation

Each gateway is a hardware-isolated microVM with its own kernel, not a process sharing a host runtime.

own kernel per instance
Low latency at the edge

Millisecond cold starts, minimal memory footprints and transparent load balancing within a service group results in ultra-low latency.

Requests land on the service group, which balances across instances it grows and shrinks on demand, and routes to your backends.

Under the hood

The platform features this use case is built on.

Starts as soon as multiple instances are attached to a service group. There's no separate load balancing instance to run.

Scales up during traffic spikes in milliseconds and back down once they subside.

An idle gateway isn't running, so you aren't paying for it between requests.
