In today’s API economy, milliseconds matter. See how Redis Cloud takes Apigee from great to exceptional.

APIs are the backbone of modern apps. Google Cloud’s Apigee gives teams the tools to expose, manage, and monitor APIs securely. But when traffic spikes and performance demands grow, even solid platforms like Apigee can hit limits. That’s where Redis Cloud comes into play. It offers a potent combination that addresses these pain points, unlocks new levels of efficiency, and most importantly, future-proofs your API strategy.

Why teams choose Apigee and the pain points they face

Apigee offers a full-featured API management solution that helps teams:

  • Securely expose APIs: Control access, enforce policies, and protect sensitive data.
  • Manage API traffic: Monitor, analyze, and optimize API performance.
  • Drive developer adoption: Create developer portals and streamline API documentation.
  • Monetize APIs: Implement revenue models and track API usage.

But, as API usage grows, organizations often run into challenges:

  • Performance bottlenecks: High traffic can lead to slow response times and hurt the user experience.
  • Scalability limitations: Traditional databases may struggle to handle sudden spikes in demand and long-term growth.
  • High availability requirements: Downtime can result in significant revenue loss and customer dissatisfaction.
  • Latency in global deployments: Serving users across multiple regions can bring latency issues.
  • Evolving API needs: Keeping up with new tech and shifting business needs isn’t easy.

How Redis Cloud solves what’s slowing you down

One of our clients faced these very challenges. They were using MemoryStore but required:

  • Maximum uptime: Achieving 99.999% availability for mission-critical services.
  • Peak performance: Delivering extremely low-latency responses.
  • Geographic distribution: Establishing a multi-region architecture for scalability and resilience.
  • Scalability: Implementing a solution designed to grow with their anticipated 3X traffic increase.
  • Lower TCO: Delivering cost-effective, long-term solutions.
  • Expert guidance: Access to Redis Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to provide tailored recommendations and support

They deployed Redis Cloud via the GCP Marketplace and saw 2x better performance and reduced latency at scale, dramatically improving app responsiveness.

Beyond immediate benefits, Redis Cloud plays a crucial role in future-proofing Apigee deployments:

  • Adaptability to evolving needs: Redis Cloud’s flexible architecture and scalability allow organizations to adapt to changing API requirements and emerging technologies.
  • Handling future traffic spikes: As API usage continues to grow, Redis Cloud ensures that Apigee can handle increasing traffic demands without performance degradation.
  • Global expansion readiness: Multi-region support enables seamless global expansion, ensuring that APIs are ready to serve users worldwide.
  • Technological advancement: Redis constantly updates and improves Redis Cloud, allowing your Apigee deployment to take advantage of the latest and greatest technology.
  • Lower TCO: Redis Cloud minimizes long-term infrastructure costs by providing efficient resource utilization, automated scaling, and reduced overhead.

Redis Cloud works hand-in-hand with Google Apigee to address key pain points and help teams build high-performance, scalable, and reliable API ecosystems. Together, these businesses can deliver exceptional user experiences, drive digital transformation, and confidently prepare for the future of APIs.
