Zuplo – Programmable, Serverless API Management for Developers

In plain words

Zuplo is a serverless API management platform that lets developers quickly add authentication, rate limiting, and documentation to new or existing APIs. It enables secure API sharing with customers, partners, or teams in minutes. Built by former Microsoft and Auth0 engineers, Zuplo targets developers who need API management features without the complexity and cost of enterprise solutions.

From the sources

Secure, govern, and observe every API, LLM, and MCP call on one programmable policy engine. See practical implementation details and production tradeoffs.

Zuplo is the unified gateway for APIs and AI — one programmable policy engine for the models your apps call and the agents that call you. Live in minutes, spend under control, every agent call accounted for. Your applications call models, and AI agents call you. Both are API traffic — and both belong behind one gateway. Every AI feature you ship adds model calls to your traffic — and to your bill. Those calls need routing, spend caps, and guardrails, the same way any critical dependency does. MCP made every agent an API consumer. Agents need identity, scoped access, quotas, and docs — real consumers to serve well, not just load to absorb. Auth, rate limits, spend caps, and audit — written…from zuplo.com

  Development teams often struggle with using multiple tools like Postman and Swagger for API design, development, and testing. This fragmented approach leads to outdated API specs and chaotic collaboration. So we built Apidog: a single, unified API platform for team collaboration. It has a beautiful interface that makes it easy to create API spec, generate request data from API spec, validate responses, create mock data, orchestrate test scenarios, and publish API documentation. Apidog = Postman + Swagger + Mock + JMeter.

  Zudoku – Open-Source Documentation Framework for APIs2024 · github.com · ▲14

  Hey all! At Zuplo, we couldn’t find an open-source documentation solution that met our high standards for both trustworthiness and programmability, so we decided to create our own (you know, as you do). Zudoku is a framework for building high quality, interactive API documentation. We’ve now released it as an OSS project under a MIT license: https://github.com/zuplo/zudoku) It’s predominantly built around a highly interactive API reference powered by OpenAPI (with GraphQL support on the way), but also has MDX support, authentication options such as Auth0 and Clerk,…

  Talanoa▲341

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  ChatGPT▲1,643

  A long, meandering, playful conversation with ChatGPT, where I take it through a whirlwind of associative tangents (in order to relax its constraints), then put it into a hypnotic trance and take it into a past-lives regression where it re-lives its own training data. Then I switch it back and forth between "4o" and "o1-preview", engage in some self-reflective philosophizing and ask it to write an essay summarizing our interaction. Some of this is just goofy fun. Some of it is me exploring the tradeoffs between policy alignment, imagination, chain-of-thought reasoning, memory, agreeableness,…
