The Developer Platform for Modern APIs
Unkey unifies your infrastructure. Deploy APIs instantly, route traffic through global gateways, and understand usage in one place.
Start for free
View on GitHub
Unify your fragmented API stack with a single control plane for
access and traffic.
Stop assembling your API stack piece by piece. Running APIs at scale usually means juggling hosting, gateways, rate limits, and monitoring across multiple vendors.
Branch Overview
Faster to ship.
Go from code to running API in minutes. Test safely, promote when ready, roll back if needed.
Manage API Keys
Safer by default.
Protect every endpoint with keys, rate limits, and instant access revocation out of the box.
Control Plane
Simpler to run.
One single unified platform for deployments, gateways, and full observability.
Usage 30 Days
Visible from day one.
Every request logged. Every decision tracked. Debug issues before users notice.
Build & Deploy
Deploy in minutes. Roll back in seconds. Ship with confidence at any scale.
Infrastructure that moves with your code. Review changes in preview, then promote the exact version you tested.
Connect
Deploy
Preview
Ship
Validate
Connect a repo and push code
Git-based deploys, zero setup
Link your Git repository once and deploy automatically on every push. No complex pipelines or manual steps needed.
Deploy Docker containers
Any language, any framework
Run real containers that stay online, keeping the serverless feel while avoiding short-lived runtimes.
Previews for every commit
Test every commit before it ships
Test changes in a separate environment, then promote when the results look right.
Ship immutable versions
Instant rollbacks, no guesswork
Keep releases safe with fast rollback paths, switch back instantly without redeploying. The previous production instance stays running for 30 minutes.
Validate releases automatically
Branch protection & OpenAPI checks
Make it really hard to ship broken APIs. OpenAPI diffs automatically flag breaking changes before they hit production.
Gateway
Protect and control traffic at the edge. Offload access control and rate limiting to global gateways.
Auth + Keys
.
Manage API keys end to end and control who can call what.
Global platform
.
Edge gateway enforces access and routes requests to the closest instance for low latency.
Rate limits
.
Set limits per IP, user, or key and enforce them close to your users.
Validation
.
Enforce request rules early to catch bad traffic before it hits your API.
Analytics
.
Access real-time insights into your API usage without adding custom instrumentation.
Built for production
Built for production
High availability
Unkey deploys multiple replicas in different availability zones so your app survives during outages.
Proactive protection
Take immediate control over your system's security with the ability to instantly revoke access, providing swift response to potential threats.
Scale
Start small, scale to global traffic, and
stay protected
without managing infrastructure manually.
Platform that scales with you. Control, routing, and traffic handling are designed for multi-region from day one.
Read the docs
Multi-region routing
Route requests to the nearest region for consistently low latency.
Automatic scaling
Capacity follows demand, with no knobs to babysit and no manual ops.
Predictable pricing
Start free, then scale up when you're ready and keep billing predictable as you grow.
Built-in protection
Lock down access with API keys, edge rate limits, and instant revoke controls.
Observe
Stay in sync with your traffic in real time.
Every request is logged. Every decision is visible.
Automatic logs and metrics collection.
Captures verifications, rate limits, audit logs, HTTP request/response logs, and much more automatically.
Spot spikes and unusual patterns.
Use metrics to flag anomalies, errors, and performance issues — and feed signals into your alerting stack.
Debug and explore in the dashboard.
Filter by deployment, user, region, custom tags, and status to quickly understand what’s going on.
Query via API, from your own systems.
Run analytics queries over your verification data via the HTTP API from your stack.
Read the docs
AIO Developer Portal
First-class developer experience for your users.
API keys, usage, and docs—ready out of the box.
Coming soon
Zero code required.
A fully hosted developer portal with nothing to build or maintain.
Beautiful API docs.
OpenAPI-generated documentation, hosted by Unkey and always in sync.
Keys and usage, self-serve.
Users manage their API keys and view usage without support requests.
Turn your API stack into one workflow.
Start for free, integrate in minutes, and scale when you need to.
