  • sebprunier added Lightweight as a feature to Otoroshi
  • Zwitterion reviewed Otoroshi  

    We've been using Otoroshi for a few years now and it has been a solid API gateway solution for our microservices. The configuration is flexible, and the dashboard makes it easy to monitor traffic and manage keys. Some advanced features have a learning curve, but overall it’s reliable and performant.

What is Otoroshi?

Otoroshi is a next-generation, cloud-native API gateway and service mesh built for modern architectures. It helps teams secure, route, observe, and control APIs and distributed services with high performance and flexibility.

Designed with modern service architectures, Kubernetes, and cloud environments in mind, Otoroshi acts as a smart entry point for your services. It provides advanced traffic management, authentication, authorization, rate limiting, and resilience features out of the box—without locking you into a specific platform.

Otoroshi supports dynamic configuration, hot reloading, and declarative setups, making it easy to integrate into CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows. It works equally well as an API gateway, reverse proxy, or service mesh component, adapting to both simple and complex infrastructures.

With built-in security features (OAuth2, OIDC, JWT, mTLS), observability tools (metrics, logs, tracing), and plugin-based extensibility, Otoroshi gives teams full control over their API ecosystem while remaining lightweight and developer-friendly.

Whether you're running a small API or a large-scale distributed system, Otoroshi provides the tools needed to ship faster, stay secure, and scale confidently.
