Migrating an API gateway is one of the most critical infrastructure changes an organization can make. Done poorly, it causes downtime, broken integrations, and security gaps. Done right, it's invisible to consumers while unlocking new capabilities.

This 15-step checklist ensures zero downtime and zero data loss during your API gateway migration, whether you're moving from webMethods, Kong, Apigee, DataPower, MuleSoft, Oracle OAM, or any other platform.

Migrating from Broadcom Layer7 API Gateway™ to an open-source alternative is a structured process that can be completed in 4-6 months using a phased, zero-downtime approach. This guide covers feature mapping, a five-phase migration roadmap, and practical guidance on translating Layer7's assertion-based policy model to modern open-source equivalents.

Migrating from Axway API Gateway to an open-source alternative is a structured process that can be completed in 4-6 months using a phased, zero-downtime approach. This guide provides a feature mapping, migration roadmap, and practical advice for enterprise teams evaluating their options.

WSO2 API Manager is an established open-source API management platform used by enterprises worldwide. As the API management landscape evolves — with AI agent protocols, Kubernetes-native architectures, and stricter European regulations — some teams are evaluating alternatives that better align with their current requirements. This guide provides a feature comparison, migration approach, and practical guidance.

Migrating from a legacy API gateway is one of the highest-stakes infrastructure projects an enterprise platform team can undertake. Done well, it eliminates years of accumulated technical debt, reduces licensing costs, and opens the door to AI agent integration. Done poorly, it disrupts production APIs and erodes trust with every team that depends on the platform.

This guide provides a vendor-neutral framework for planning and executing an API gateway migration in 2026 — covering assessment, policy translation, phased traffic migration, and the new requirements introduced by AI agents. Specific guidance for individual platforms (Broadcom Layer7, Software AG webMethods, Axway, Apigee) is linked throughout.

Migrating from IBM DataPower or TIBCO requires separating gateway routing from protocol-specific functions. This guide covers a sidecar approach: deploy STOA for REST/JSON traffic, federate identity via OIDC, and keep legacy systems for B2B protocols where they excel.

IBM DataPower and TIBCO BusinessWorks represent two of the most deeply embedded integration platforms in enterprise IT. Both handle critical workloads — security token services, multi-protocol mediation, B2B gateway functions — that organizations depend on daily.

This guide provides a practical assessment of migration approaches for organizations evaluating modernization paths from these platforms.

MuleSoft migrations work best when you separate the API gateway layer from integration flows. Move Experience APIs (routing, auth, rate limiting) to open-source gateways while keeping Anypoint for DataWeave transformations and complex connectors.

MuleSoft Anypoint has become one of the most widely deployed integration platforms in enterprise IT. Since Salesforce's acquisition in 2018, the platform has deepened its ties to the Salesforce ecosystem while organizations face evolving requirements around AI agent support, European data sovereignty, and infrastructure cost management.

This guide provides a practical assessment of when MuleSoft migration makes sense, what the challenges are, and how to approach it without disrupting existing integrations.

If you are evaluating an Apigee alternative, you are not alone. Since Google absorbed Apigee into its cloud platform, a growing number of organizations have found themselves facing rising costs, deepening vendor lock-in, and an increasingly opaque product roadmap. The good news: open-source API gateways have matured to the point where migration is not just feasible — it is often a strategic improvement.

Migrating from Software AG webMethods API Gateway™ to an open-source alternative is achievable in 4-6 months using a phased, zero-downtime approach. This guide covers what makes webMethods migrations distinct — the Integration Server (IS) dependency, the Designer-based policy model, the IBM licensing entanglement — and provides a concrete roadmap for platform teams ready to act.

Let us say what many enterprise architects are thinking but few vendors will admit: the ESB is dead. The enterprise service bus — that monolithic integration middleware that defined the SOA era — has been in decline for a decade. What killed it was not a single technology but a series of architectural shifts: microservices, API gateways, event-driven architectures, and now the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Each shift made the ESB less relevant. MCP may be the final blow.
