APISIX vs AWS API Gateway

Apache APISIX is an open-source, high-performance API gateway and ingress controller that provides load balancing, rate limiting, authentication, and observability for API traffic. It supports dynamic routing configuration via an admin API without requiring restarts. APISIX is built on Nginx and LuaJIT with a plugin architecture supporting over 80 built-in plugins.

Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service for creating, publishing, and managing REST, HTTP, and WebSocket APIs at any scale. It handles traffic management, authorization, monitoring, and API versioning.
