Zuplo vs Kong

Typical pain

  • Self-managed control plane
  • Plugins in Lua, hard to share across teams
  • Manual scaling and cluster ops

What Zuplo does

  • Fully managed — 60s to deploy
  • TypeScript-native policies in your repo
  • Auto-scaled across 300+ edge locations

Apigee logo

Zuplo vs Apigee

Typical pain

  • XML & JSON-string policy config
  • Long onboarding & GCP lock-in
  • Per-seat developer pricing

What Zuplo does

  • Code-first config in your IDE
  • Free tier, deploy from GitHub in minutes
  • Pay per request, not per seat

AWS API Gateway logo

Zuplo vs AWS API Gateway

Typical pain

  • Region-bound and AWS-only
  • Plumbing required for auth, rate limit, portal
  • Cost grows fast with custom integrations

What Zuplo does

  • Edge-native, multi-cloud and on-prem
  • Batteries included — auth, keys, portal, monetization
  • Transparent usage pricing — no surprise egress
