Welcome to Open Gateway (open-gw)

Bridging the gap between enterprise API Gateways and modern infrastructure standards.

We build high-performance, open-source extensions, plugins, and callouts that modernize how API gateways handle telemetry, security, and traffic governance.

Our Mission

Enterprise API gateways often suffer from vendor lock-in and proprietary observability patterns. Our goal is to provide "sweat-free," drop-in extensions that force proprietary gateways to speak modern, open standards like OpenTelemetry (OTLP)---allowing engineering teams to decouple their API layer from their infrastructure backend.

Supported Ecosystems

We design native, highly optimized artifacts for the world's leading API platforms:

  • Google Cloud Apigee: Java Callouts and Shared Flows.

  • Kong Gateway: Lua Plugins and Go PDK extensions.

  • Azure API Management (APIM): C# Policy Fragments.

Featured Projects

  • 🔭 apigee-otel-logger (In Active Development): A high-performance, asynchronous Java Callout to natively export OpenTelemetry (OTLP) logs directly from Apigee Message Processors.
  • 🔭 GatewayDB-mcp (In Active Development): A plugin that securely and efficiently expose relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, etc.) as MCP tools for AI agents

Get Involved

We believe in community-driven infrastructure. Whether you are a lead architect at a Fortune 500 company or a developer exploring API management for the first time, your contributions are welcome.

  • Contribute Code: Check out our help wanted issues on any active repository.

  • Suggest an Extension: Have an idea for a Kong plugin or an APIM fragment? Open a discussion or an issue.

  • Adopt & Feedback: Star our repositories and let us know how these tools are performing in your production environments.
