About APIblaze
Making software development easy and safe through innovative API hosting solutions
Our Story
APIblaze was founded by industry leaders in API Management who wanted to offer easy solutions for startups. After years of building and managing complex API infrastructure at scale, we realized that most developers were spending too much time on infrastructure instead of building great products.
We set out to create a platform that would make API hosting as simple as possible, while providing all the features that growing companies need. Our mission is to make software development eassy and safe by removing the complexity of API infrastructure while protecting our builders from the fear of turnkey vendor tactics.
We believe builders should focus 90% of their energy on their idea and 10% on the plumbing. We believe the choice in API management should not be between high maintenance costs and small turnkey vendors with unnatural margins enforced by lock-in once you succeed. We will get your API up and running in seconds, securely, at a fair price and will help you leave once you become a large corporation and outgrow us.
Our Mission
Make software development easier
We believe that developers should focus on building great products, not managing infrastructure. Our platform handles the complexity of API hosting so you can focus on what matters most.
Our Values
The principles that guide everything we do
Simplicity
We believe in making complex technology simple and accessible. Our platform removes the complexity of API hosting so you can focus on building. We will only build stuff that scales to all startups core needs, no esotheric solutions for large corporations that would make us harder to use and too heavy to innovate.
Integrity
We operate with integrity and transparency towards our goal to help you pursue your passion project instead of wasting time on plumbing. We are bootstrapped by choice — no investors demanding outsized returns. That keeps our business goal simple: cover our costs and pay our employees well, not get wealthy at your expense.
For Startups only
We built everything serverless so that our costs grow at the same rate as our customers. That makes us more expensive per transaction and loses us the Enterprise market, but it lets us charge a fair, steady margin on top of our costs. We don’t need lock-in tactics or surprise price hikes to make the model work — and we’ll actually help you leave once you outgrow us.
