Lunar

Lunar is a specialized tool designed for engineering teams to manage the consumption of third-party APIs in production environments. It focuses on reducing costs, optimizing performance, and enhancing resilience. Co-existing seamlessly with existing infrastructure, Lunar provides real-time visibility and alerts for third-party API issues, enabling immediate fixes in production.

Lunar offers a sophisticated API Consumption Gateway that provides granular control over egress traffic, a feature often missing in traditional API gateways. It delivers L7 visibility, usage metrics, and patterns for all third-party APIs and multiple endpoints across various environments, services, or tenants. The platform includes advanced traffic controls with configurable policies, allowing for orchestration and optimization of API calls. Key functionalities include rate limiting, quota management, concurrency control, and centralized caching.

Built to handle extreme workloads, Lunar ensures optimal performance with built-in fail-over redundancy and fault-tolerance. It integrates smoothly with existing tools and stacks, ensuring high standards of security and reliability. The platform is SOC 2 certified and offers ready-made optimization flows for managing GenAI in production, controlling advertisement APIs, and handling traffic peaks.

Lunar is available in self-hosted or hybrid deployment models, providing 100% agnostic coverage to any API provider and endpoint. It dramatically improves application reliability by reducing error rates and enhancing response times, while also offering significant cost savings through smart caching and prioritizing API calls.

Designed for architects, DevOps, CTOs, and developers, Lunar offers comprehensive insights into API consumption management, addressing key challenges and best practices. It is a robust, lightweight, and easy-to-install solution that empowers developers to autonomously fix and optimize consumed APIs, ensuring business continuity and reducing maintenance costs.
