All use cases
For API-first businesses

Turn your service into a secured, metered, revenue-ready API.

You have a service worth charging for. Productizing it as an API means key management, rate limiting, usage metering and analytics — undifferentiated work that delays launch.

Products in this stack

zAPI

API gateway

Design, secure and observe your APIs with rate limiting, keys and analytics baked in.

zMesh

Backend-as-a-Service

Postgres, auth, storage, realtime and edge functions — a complete backend you can ship in minutes.

The challenge

  • Issuing and rotating API keys securely is non-trivial.
  • Without rate limiting, a single client can take you down.
  • You can't price what you can't measure.

The result

From internal service to monetized public API — secured, measured and ready for customers.

How it works

02

Store and authenticate with zMesh

03

Meter and bill on usage

Track usage per key with built-in analytics and turn it into usage-based pricing.
