Your teams are supposed to be shipping code, building features, and driving innovation. But too often they get bogged down in investigations and optimizations because the business and your users demand flawless performance.
Now you can achieve expert-level API performance and resilience without adding any new headcount.
I'm excited that Akamai has launched its Managed Service for API Performance, powered by APIContext's advanced synthetic monitoring platform.
For Teams with No Time to Spare
This new managed service is designed specifically for enterprise application teams who need to guarantee API performance without diverting focus from core development. It allows teams of any size to see real world performance gains without spending time to track down and implement performance enhancements.
Akamai's service essentially acts as an extension of your team, leveraging our technology to deliver:
-
Reduced Operational Load: Offload the infrastructure and day-to-day monitoring tasks, freeing your team to focus on innovation and speed.
-
Proactive Detection: Akamai experts use our platform's advanced synthetic monitoring to detect, notify, and mitigate latency and resilience issues before they impact your users.
-
Faster Incident Response: You get the benefit of 24/7 expert oversight. Akamai’s experts triage every alert, providing actionable intelligence that reduces the mean time to identify and remediate issues.
The Technology That Makes It Possible
We are incredibly proud that Akamai chose APIContext as the engine for this critical managed service. It’s a powerful validation of our best-in-class technology.
At its core, the service uses our advanced synthetic monitoring capabilities to provide continuous, end-to-end testing of APIs with global coverage. This allows Akamai's team to uncover subtle trends—like rising response times, region-specific slowdowns, or schema mismatches—and provide tailored action plans to drive continuous optimization.
It can even handle operations in regulated industries, to demonstrate stringent SLA and compliance requirements; and simplify audit readiness for regulatory mandates.
A Partnership Built on Performance
This collaboration represents a natural synergy: APIContext’s industry-leading API monitoring technology combined with Akamai’s global scale and world-class managed services. The result is a seamless solution that allows any enterprise to ensure their APIs are available, fast, and compliant —without the operational overhead.
