Where The Gateway Sits
Decides What It Can Govern.
The micro-gateway
Alpha runs inside the cluster that runs your services, not in front of it. That placement is what lets it govern east-west traffic — the service-to-service calls that normally bypass a gateway entirely, which means the calls with the most access end up the least observed.
At no extra configuration
You do not declare internal routes, register services with each other, or maintain a second policy set. Same contract, same scopes, same audit trail — applied because the gateway is inside the cluster rather than in front of it.
| PaaS | Hybrid | Self-hosted | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control plane operated by | Apiway | Apiway | You |
| Gateway runs in | Our infrastructure | Your cluster | Your infrastructure |
| Micro-gateway in your cluster | No | Yes | Yes |
| East-west enforcement | No | Yes | Yes |
| Inbound enforcement | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Payloads stay in your network | No | Yes | Yes |
| Infrastructure you run | None | The gateway | All of it |
On PaaS the gateway runs in our cluster, so it governs your inbound traffic but never sees calls between your own services. Put it in your cluster with Hybrid and it governs those too — without you taking on the platform. Full comparison →
