Architecture

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.

Discover why early-stage founders are choosing cloud-agnostic architectures to avoid AWS lock-in and high egress fees.

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.

Why a ground-up Go architecture provides better isolation and lower latency than managed Nginx-based wrappers.
