The Challenge

API Management Challenges in a Mission-Critical Environment

Duck Creek Payments, which connects insurance enterprises to the global payment ecosystem, was facing several challenges with their existing API infrastructure. Their Kubernetes routing lacked critical features like throttling and security transparency, which were essential for their payment processing operations.

They had experimented with Azure API Management but found it slow and incompatible with their preferred GitOps workflows. Additionally, their API development process was inconsistent across teams, making it difficult to maintain quality and security standards.

As they evolved their platform, they also needed to maintain backward compatibility with existing systems, requiring a flexible API management solution that could bridge legacy and modern architectures while providing enterprise-grade security and performance.

Pain Points

  • Feature Gaps
    Kubernetes routing lacked throttling and security transparency
  • Integration Issues
    Azure API Management was slow and workflow-incompatible
  • Inconsistent Lifecycle
    Required a consistent API development process
  • Legacy Compatibility
    Sought backward compatibility with existing systems

Accelerated Deployment
