Google Apigee

Google Cloud's API management platform ships built-in traffic, error, and developer-app analytics as part of the gateway, not as a separate product.

Apigee, marketed as Google Apigee, is Google Cloud's API management platform, combining a proxy gateway, developer portal, monetization, and security policies, with analytics built into the same control plane rather than sold as a standalone tool. Every request that passes through an Apigee proxy is logged automatically, and the Analytics module turns that log into pre-built dashboards for traffic volume, error codes, latency, cache hit rates, and geographic or device breakdowns, plus custom reports segmented by API product, developer app, or individual API key. Because the data is tied to Apigee's developer-app and API-product model, it doubles as usage tracking for quota enforcement and monetization packages. Teams get this analytics only by routing traffic through Apigee's gateway; it is not available as a separate purchase.

How to choose an API analytics tool Decide whether you need traffic dashboards, per-customer billing data, or governance — API analytics vendors rarely do all three equally well.
