API Umbrella
Open-source API management platform that runs as a reverse proxy in front of web service APIs.
API Umbrella is an open-source API management platform that the project describes as a reverse proxy between API users and the APIs behind it. The README says the platform takes over access control, rate limiting and analytics, so API code does not need to change. The documentation describes installation from binary packages and from source.
Worth knowing
The installation pages describe an older release line than the newest tags in the repository, so the steps need checking against the current version.
