API gateway

Crate is officially in Open Beta. We built a lightning-fast, cloud-agnostic API gateway engineered to eliminate bloated configs and vendor lock-in.

A 15-minute deep dive into the 2026 managed API gateway landscape. We compare AWS, Kong, Tyk, Cloudflare, and ngrok against the Crate philosophy of dedicated isolation and fixed costs.

Tyk proved that Go is the best language for gateways. Crate is proving that the next generation of managed services must be leaner and more decoupled.

ngrok recently launched their own production API Gateway. Here is why Crate’s dedicated bare-metal managed service still wins on predictability and performance.
