One catalog, every gateway
Inventory the APIs on your legacy ESBs and gateways into a single catalog first, so consolidation starts with visibility, not guesswork.
Retire the legacy gateways. Keep everything they run.
Years of growth and acquisitions leave most enterprises with several generations of ESBs and API gateways. Waygrid consolidates them onto one governed platform, route by route, without a big-bang cutover.
Why Waygrid
Consolidation designed around business continuity
The risk in consolidation is never the destination, it's the journey. Waygrid's approach keeps every existing integration running while the estate simplifies underneath it.
Coexistence, not big bang
Waygrid runs alongside your existing infrastructure during the transition. Traffic moves route by route, on your schedule, with rollback at every step.
Proven migration playbooks
Documented migration paths for the most common legacy ESBs and API gateways, refined across hundreds of enterprise transitions since 2016.
Consistent policy from day one
Security, quotas, and compliance rules apply identically to migrated and legacy traffic, closing the governance gaps that multiple platforms create.
Lower total cost of ownership
Retire duplicate licenses, hardware, and specialist skills. One platform to operate, one vendor to manage, one renewal to negotiate.
A partner, not just a platform
Every consolidation is led with a dedicated Waygrid solutions engineer, from initial inventory through the final cutover and beyond.
The journey
From first inventory to retired licenses in a quarter
Most organizations route their first production traffic through Waygrid within weeks and complete the full transition within a quarter. The pace is set by your risk appetite, not by the technology.
- No interruption to consumers: endpoints and contracts stay stable while the platform behind them changes.
- Rollback at every step: each migrated route can return to the legacy path instantly if anything looks wrong.
- Value before completion: migrated traffic gains full observability, security, and governance immediately.
- Inventory Weeks 1-2
Catalog every API across your existing gateways and ESBs, with owners, consumers, and traffic profiles.
- First traffic Weeks 2-6
Priority routes move to Waygrid behind your existing endpoints, with policies matched and verified.
- Full transition Within a quarter
Remaining routes migrate on your schedule, legacy platforms are retired, and duplicate costs end.
