toran vs Zuplo

Zuplo is a modern API gateway designed for developers. Teams use it to add authentication, rate limiting, and policies to APIs they expose, with a focus on developer experience and edge deployment.

What Zuplo is good at

  • Adding authentication, rate limiting, and policies to APIs you expose
  • Developer-friendly configuration with code-based policies
  • Edge deployment for low-latency API management
  • Transforming and validating requests before they reach your backend

Where it falls short for API debugging

  • Designed to manage APIs you serve, not observe APIs you consume
  • Does not sit inline between your app and third-party APIs you call
  • Focused on policy enforcement rather than passive observation

How toran is different

  • toran observes outbound API requests to services you consume
  • Passive inspection with no policy enforcement, transformation, or blocking
  • Activated by swapping a base URL, not configuring gateway routes
  • Read-only by design: no auth, rate limiting, or request modification
💡

Quick decision rule

Use Zuplo to manage, secure, and monetize APIs you expose to others. Use toran to observe and debug outbound API calls your application makes to third-party services.
