API gateway

Eight production failure modes teams hit with mainstream API gateways—control plane coupling, billing surprises, leaky rate limits, AI scrapers, TLS, config churn, misplaced logic, and load variance—and how Crate approaches each.

Building MCP servers from scratch involves significant manual effort, from schema duplication to managing SSE lifecycles. We explore the 'Engineering Tax' of AI integration.

Explore why Server-Sent Events (SSE) is the superior transport layer for production MCP servers, offering resilience, firewall compatibility, and native reconnection.

An introduction to the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and how it solves the 'Context Gap' by shifting from hardcoded integrations to dynamic discovery.

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.
