What's APISIX?

APISIX is a cloud-native microservices API gateway, delivering the ultimate performance, security, open source and scalable platform for all your APIs and microservices.

APISIX is based on OpenResty and etcd. Compared with traditional API gateways, APISIX has dynamic routing and plug-in hot loading, which is especially suitable for API management under micro-service system.

Why APISIX?

If you are building a website, mobile device or IoT (Internet of Things) application, you may need to use an API gateway to handle interface traffic.

APISIX is a cloud-based microservices API gateway that handles traditional north-south traffic and handles east-west traffic between services.

APISIX provides dynamic load balancing, authentication, rate limiting, and other plugins through plugin mechanisms, and supports plugins you develop yourself.

For more detailed information, see the White Paper.

Features

Cloud-Native: Platform agnostic, No vendor lock-in, APISIX can run from bare-metal to Kubernetes.
hot updates and hot plugins: Continuously updates its configurations and plugins without restarts!
Dynamic Load Balancing: Round-robin load balancing with weight.
Hash-based Load Balancing: Load balance with consistent hashing sessions.
SSL: Dynamically load an SSL certificate.
Forward Proxy
Health Checks：Enable health check on the upstream node, and will automatically filter unhealthy nodes during load balancing to ensure system stability.
Circuit-Breaker: Intelligent tracking of unhealthy upstream services.
Authentications: key-auth, JWT
Limit-req
Limit-count
Limit-concurrency
OpenTracing: Zipkin
Monitoring and Metrics: Prometheus
Custom plugins: Allows hooking of common phases, such as rewrite, access, header filer, body filter and log, also allows to hook the balancer stage.
Dashboard: Built-in dashboard to control APISIX.
CLI: start\stop\reload APISIX through the command line.
REST API
Clustering
Scalability
High performance: The single-core QPS reaches 24k with an average delay of less than 0.6 milliseconds.
Anti-ReDoS(Regular expression Denial of Service)
OAuth2.0: TODO.
ACL: TODO.
Bot detection: TODO.
IP blacklist: TODO.

Install

APISIX Installed and tested in the following systems:

OS	OpenResty	Status
CentOS 7	1.15.8.1	√
Ubuntu 16.04	1.15.8.1	√
Ubuntu 18.04	1.15.8.1	√
Debian 9	1.15.8.1	√
Mac OSX	1.15.8.1	√

You now have two ways to install APISIX: if you are using CentOS 7, it is recommended to use RPM, other systems please use Luarocks.

We will add support for Docker and more OS shortly.

Install from RPM for CentOS 7

sudo yum install yum-utils
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://openresty.org/package/centos/openresty.repo
sudo yum install -y openresty etcd
sudo service etcd start

sudo yum install -y https://github.com/iresty/apisix/releases/download/v0.6/apisix-0.6-0.el7.noarch.rpm

You can try APISIX with the Quickstart now.

Install from Luarocks

Dependencies

APISIX is based on OpenResty, the configures data storage and distribution via etcd.

We recommend that you use luarocks to install APISIX, and for different operating systems have different dependencies, see more: Install Dependencies

Install APISIX

sudo luarocks install --lua-dir=/usr/local/openresty/luajit apisix

If all goes well, you will see the message like this:

apisix is now built and installed in /usr (license: Apache License 2.0)

Congratulations, you have already installed APISIX successfully.

Development Manual of APISIX

If you are a developer, you can view the dev manual for more detailed information.

Quickstart

start server:

sudo apisix start

try limit count plugin

Limit count plugin is a good start to try APISIX, you can follow the documentation of limit count.

You can try more plugins.

Benchmark

Using Google Cloud's 4 core server, APISIX's QPS reach to 60,000 with a latency of only 500 microseconds.

You can view the benchmark documentation for more detailed information.
