Make API operational changes in real-time without downtime or disruption
With APEX API Ops, agencies can perform live API configuration updates, upstream credential rotations, and even access management across multiple API versions, all without breaking integrations or forcing consumers to change their code.
The problem
Running APIs at scale means constant change, but change is risky.
Downtime during configuration updates
Updating routing rules, security policies, or backend URLs often requires deployment cycles or maintenance windows. Consumers end up with broken calls or forced to retry later.
Credential rotations can be fragile
Expiring or compromised upstream credentials can lead to frantic last-minute updates, emergency deployments, and inevitable service disruptions if done wrongly.
Version access management can be messy
Many agencies run multiple API versions in parallel, but managing who can access what, and enforcing transitions between versions, can easily tangle up into confusion, especially when these information are scattered across different email chains or different knowledge bases.
Slow operational turnaround
Changes, regardless of what they are, often times requires a series of multi-sequential steps. When an error happens, it takes a considerable amount of time to rectify/rollback certain elements depending on how far or deep they are in their sequence, making the already long process even longer and brittle when done alone.
The solution
APEX API Ops delivers a live, centralized operational control layer for your APIs.
Real-time, no-downtime updates
Apply configuration changes directly on the APIs and commit them instantly. Consumers will not even notice.
Seamless upstream credential rotation
Replace API keys, certificates, or mTLS credentials in the background without touching any consumer configurations.
Granular access control
Define, update, and enforce access policies per API version seamlessly.
Centralized operations for all APIs
Manage live changes across different APIs, environments, and agencies from one secure, government-grade platform.
The benefits
APEX API Ops keeps your APIs adaptable, secure, and reliable, even when change needs to happen.
No disruptions for critical changes
Implement small yet important updates without interrupting services that consumers rely on.
Proactive security posture
Rotate credentials in advance to reduce risks — all without breaking existing connections.
Smooth version migrations
Upgrade or roll back API versions seamlessly, ensuring lifecycle transitions are hassle-free.
Faster incident response
Resolve issues in minutes through live updates, instead of waiting for redeployments..
