It's a scalable product. I don't have a problem with scaling since I contract with the service, and I don't have to worry about how they scale.
There are five of us that working on the solution currently. They are primarily architects that help with the development.

I'm quite confident of the scalability. I did do some comparisons between MuleSoft and Apigee, and a third one whose name slips my mind at the moment.
With Apigee, we don't have to think about scaling. There are still some limits, however, you can buy up. They have 80 million transactions a year, 80 million or 800 million, however, you can buy up if you start to exceed that. On some of the other platforms, you have to post the service yourself and you have to make sure that you were managing scale. That was one thing that is an advantage on Apigee.
There are something like 60,000 users using the solution, however, our load plan around it is more so that I don't think we've fully deployed it to the extent that we plan to. It's probably a small effect of that. The number of users that are impacted by it is probably in the order of nearly 10,000.
It's not being used as much as we would like. We're still ramping up and prioritizing people to be building around. Some of our existing technology does not traverse through it. Over time, we do plan to extend it until all of our external-facing interfaces go through Apigee.

The system is scalable; however, achieving scalability involves updating numerous properties and parameters. While it is manageable, the learning curve proved significant, and we gained insights through collaboration with a team of three during the development process.

The scalability is good. Our load has improved drastically in the last three years. The traffic has been increased, and we still see a good performance overall.
Mostly developers from different teams use it. And there are administrative teams maintaining the overall solution within the organization.
View full review »Apigee is a pretty scalable solution. Approximately ten developers use Apigee in our organization. The traffic that we have is close to 10,000 API requests a day.
I rate Apigee a nine or ten out of ten for scalability.

The scalability of the solution is okay. If a company needs to scale it, it should be able to do so.
Currently, we only have about ten people on our team that use it.

Tolulope Adeniji
Technical Lead - Integration/Middleware at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
I think it's pretty scalable. Currently, we are doing about sixteen million calls per quarter. As we are not using it on a large scale, we don't usually have latency issues whatsoever. We have a clustered environment and there is little to no downtime, even when we are running patches on the operating system. We have between twenty-five and thirty regular developers that use this platform. We have four nodes in the cluster that are serving internal traffic, and then we have another four nodes for external traffic so that way we don't really require any upgrade.
At this time there is no immediate need to scale up the environment. We have four servers with four nodes in the cluster that service the internal traffic, and we have another four gateway nodes for the external traffic.
View full review »On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the scalability around an eight. We currently have around twenty users implementing the solution on a regular basis.

Right now, in the development area of Apigee, we have about 20 developers, architects, et cetera. We are in the process of training because our expected growth drives us to have about 100 developers by the end of next year. I think that by the end of Q1, next year, we're going to double our capacity. By mid-year, we have to have 20 more, and so on, until the end of the year. We are planning to have about 100 trained developers, or configuration experts, in Apigee.

The scalability depends on your configuration. You can make it scalable.
Other vendors are basically giving more. For example, Azure. Azure is cloud-based, so they offer many things, including client support and hosting. So if you take Azure for all your storage and hosting, then they are inclined to use their API data solution. Similarly, MuleSoft provides you many things. It is an ESB kind of service broker, so you can connect to many varieties of backends. It supports that, so they can use Mulesoft API. Apigee provides a number of out-of-the-box policies and it handles the API governance. But if are looking for an end-to-end solution, Apigee is a bit behind. But if it is combined together with Google Cloud, and if the Google cloud offerings are comparable to Azure, then probably Apigee will lead.

Scalability wise, I've heard from some customers that Apigee has some limitations on scalability, but we haven't experienced those as of yet.
As far as Layer 7 is concerned, it seems that the policies are very deterministic as to how the actual gateways function. Some of them have had a significant impact and we've had to scale up their clusters just to support a minimal load. Some are disappointed with the number of services that we have to engage for Layer 7, and the number of clusters we've had to create. We've had to create a pretty large cluster for supporting some applications.
The Layer 7 gateway's front end is for a high-end brand product. We have the largest loyalty program in Canada. Our PC Optimum program, for instance, uses our Layer 7 gateways. There are 14 million users that use the PC Optimum card that goes through those gateways.
The solution is scalable.
We have three banking clients on the solution.
The amount of users depends on the customer. Some use it internally. Others expose the API to clients. Some have more than a billion APIs. Some have less.

Apigee is a cloud solution, and it's scalable. I have about two departments using it predominantly to share staff. Because of how the company was structured, we had one for original regulations and one for Africa. The regulations in some of the African countries are not the same.

The scalability is good. I'd rate it five out of ten. It's deployed on the VM. You cannot scale up in some areas as you might hit a limit. Then, there are peak hours, and that might be different as well. You might hit a wall.

The scalability of the product is good. Our use case is right now is applied in only one environment. When we are about to go to production, we will probably do high-availability testing with a dual environment so we can come up with any potential scalability issues. But for now, we have not really touched that area in our testing.
We do have a lot of people using Apigee already. This is the primary gateway for us to talk to external applications. I would say that services around 800- 900 applications which are using the gateways. That is also involving many teams and end-users who access those applications.
The SaaS version of Apigee is quite scalable. The hybrid version is also scalable depending on your requirements.

It is scalable.
We have around four users.
There is a team of less than five people for deployment and maintenance.
As of now, we are going through a consolidation process within the company. Oliver Weyman is part of a larger group of companies. We are among the first ones to use it, but the plans for it are still not outlined for the next year, at least. This is something that we will finish figuring out within the next few quarters.

With the SaaS model, scalability is there.
It is suitable for large companies because it is a bit pricey. It is definitely not for small companies, but it might be suitable for medium companies.

Our mother company has been using Apigee for maybe five years now. I talk with them about making assessments for selecting an API gateway solution. They didn't have any issues with scalability or monitoring. Apigee was perfect for them. We didn't face any issue with it in terms of scalability or even tenability. It's very easy to scale.
As an integrator, we have about five different clients who use this solution. They have a different number of users.

Larger customers typically have 14-20 users on the product.
For large transactions, the commercial model is proving to be a constraint to some of our customers. For example, they're asking, when the scale grows, the commercial option becomes expensive. Some of our customers, for example, ask for an alternative approach due to the cost of the commercial model.
That said, you can scale. It's not a challenge in terms of doing it, it's just a challenge in terms of cost.
View full review »This is an easily scalable product based on your needs and loads on the system. Almost all components can be scaled horizontally which gives it an edge over other options available in this domain. However, you will have to make sure that you follow the guidelines and strict steps, as documented by Apigee, for adding or removing the nodes for a specific component.
