Who is this best for?

This is the fastest way to decide whether Apigee is in the right neighborhood.

Best for

Enterprises running external/partner APIs with SLAs, quotas, and onboarding workflows
Platform teams standardizing policy and security across many API producers
Organizations that need formal governance, auditability, and lifecycle management
Teams that can invest in a centralized API program (not just gateway routing)

Who should avoid

You primarily need a lightweight gateway for internal services
You cannot staff platform ownership for policies, rollout workflows, and operations
You need a neutral gateway deployed consistently across multi-cloud/hybrid with minimal vendor coupling
