Signando REST vs. Axway
Modern Rust architecture instead of Legacy Java. Why the next generation of API security is simpler, faster, and more secure.
Why Teams Switch to Signando REST
100% Rust - Memory Safety
Axway API Gateway is Java-based with all known problems: Memory leaks, GC pauses, high resource consumption. Signando REST uses Rust for architecturally guaranteed memory safety.
Complete Response Validation
Axway focuses on incoming traffic. Signando REST also validates all backend responses against the OpenAPI schema - critical for data exfiltration protection.
Minimal Footprint
No JVM, no GBs of RAM, no complex administration. Signando REST runs as a lightweight container with predictable resource consumption.
Focused on Security
Axway is an extensive integration platform with many features. Signando REST focuses on one thing: API Security - and does it right.
Feature Comparison
| Feature | Signando REST | Axway API Gateway |
|---|---|---|
| Programming Language | 100% Rust | Java |
| Response Validation | Complete | Not Available |
| Resource Consumption | ~100MB RAM | GBs RAM (JVM) |
| Deployment | Container/5 Minutes | Complex/Hours to Days |
| Complexity | Focused | Enterprise Platform |
The Problem with Axway for Modern API Security
Legacy Architecture
Axway was developed over 20 years ago. The Java-based architecture is not optimal for modern, low-latency API security.
Complexity
Axway is an extensive platform with many features. For pure API security, it's oversized - high learning curve, high administration effort.
High TCO
Java developers, complex infrastructure, extensive licensing. Axway is expensive to acquire and operate.
