Today we’re excited to introduce the Zuplo Free plan (beta), offering the
fastest way to ship your public API. Zuplo is fully-managed API management that
adds authentication, rate limiting, and developer documentation to any API — on
any stack or cloud — in minutes.

We take care of all the boring stuff that makes a great API so that you can
focus on whatever differentiates your business.

Our Free plan is perfect for developers who are building an API to share with
other developers. Maybe you are building the next big API-first startup? Or you
have a weekend side-gig, hackathon or hobby project that needs an API? Maybe
you’re just learning how to build APIs or exploring API management and API
gateways? Zuplo’s Free plan is the perfect solution, and you can relax knowing
that Zuplo can grow with you - we’re already handling billions of requests per
month for tiny startups and large enterprises alike.

## Why free? Why now?

Zuplo was founded by Josh Twist and Nathan Totten with the goal of making API
Management accessible to all. Josh founded Azure API Management at Microsoft,
and Nate built much of the developer experience at Auth0.

API Management is traditionally only used by large organizations, but we believe
that every business can benefit from the power of API management that is
optimized for developers.

We want to democratize API management, and we do that by making it _much_ easier
to use and more affordable.

Today we’re announcing a Free (forever) plan for folks looking to get started
with API management, whether you’re a total beginner or a veteran of other
legacy solutions. Weekend project, hackathon, side-gig? Give Zuplo and try and
let us know what you think.

## Great! What do I do next?
