Signando REST vs. Apigee
Full data sovereignty instead of cloud dependency. Why critical infrastructure operators and financial institutions need on-premise security.
Why Teams Switch to Signando REST
100% On-Premise
Signando REST runs completely in your infrastructure. No data leaves your data center. Apigee requires Google Cloud or expensive hybrid setups.
Complete Response Validation
Apigee cannot validate backend responses. Signando REST checks every response against the OpenAPI schema - protection against data exfiltration.
Transparent Costs
No traffic-based costs, no API call limits. One license for unlimited usage. Apigee can quickly become very expensive.
GDPR & CRITIS Compliant
Full control over all data, German company, German support. No data transfers to the USA like with Google Cloud.
Feature Comparison
| Feature | Signando REST | Google Apigee |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | 100% On-Premise | Google Cloud (primary) |
| Response Validation | Complete | Not Available |
| Data Sovereignty | Complete | Google Cloud |
| Pricing Model | Flat-Rate License | Pay-per-API-Call |
| CRITIS Suitable | Yes | Problematic |
The Problem with Apigee for Critical Infrastructure
Cloud Dependency
Apigee is primarily a Google Cloud service. On-premise ("Hybrid") is expensive and complex. Often not permissible for critical infrastructure and financial sector.
No Data Sovereignty
API traffic flows through Google infrastructure. Metadata is processed by Google. GDPR compliance is questionable.
Exploding Costs
Pay-per-API-call can become extremely expensive with high traffic. Budgeting becomes unpredictable.
