Why Meridian

Everything your APIs need.
Nothing they don't.

Replace your patchwork of proxies, WAFs, and rate limiters with one unified control plane.

Sub-Millisecond Routing

Content-based routing, weighted load balancing, and canary deployments — all at the edge.

Zero Trust Auth

OAuth 2.0, JWT, mTLS, and bot protection baked into every request path.

99.99% SLA

Global edge deployment with automatic failover and zero-downtime upgrades.

150+ Plugins

Extend with JS, Go, or Rust. Transform requests, inject headers, shape responses.

Real-Time Observability

Every request logged and traced. Live dashboards, distributed tracing, anomaly alerts.

Global Edge Network

Deploy to 200+ edge locations. Sub-10ms response for every user, everywhere.

Zero Trust

End-to-End mTLS

Automatic certificate rotation and pinning across all services. Zero trust from edge to origin — every connection encrypted, every identity verified.

100% encrypted connections

Authentication

OAuth 2.0 + JWT at the Edge

Validate tokens before they reach your services. Block bad actors at the perimeter — sub-millisecond auth that never touches your application code.

0.2ms avg validation time

Geo-Fencing

Geo-Based Policies

Block, route, or rate-limit based on country, ASN, or IP range. Data residency enforcement and compliance built into the infrastructure layer.

195 countries supported

Protection

DDoS Shield & Rate Limiting

Automatic DDoS mitigation at the edge. Configurable rate limits per endpoint, per client, per API key — with intelligent burst handling.

2.4M threats blocked / month

Intelligence

Bot Detection & WAF

ML-powered bot detection that distinguishes real users from automated scrapers. WAF rules auto-update with zero-day vulnerability feeds in real-time.

99.7% bot detection accuracy

Governance

API Key Management

Centralized key issuance, rotation, and revocation. Scoped permissions, usage analytics per key, and automatic rotation on compromise detection.

Auto-rotate on breach detection

Platform

Built for every workflow

Whether you're deploying microservices or managing a monolith, Meridian adapts.

Intelligent Routing Engine

Content-based routing, load balancing, canary deployments, and circuit breaking — all configured in YAML or our visual editor.

Path, header, and body-based routing
Weighted round-robin with auto failover
Canary deployments with real-time rollback
Circuit breaking with configurable thresholds

What engineers say

Trusted by the best teams

"We migrated from Kong to Meridian in a weekend. Our p99 latency dropped from 45ms to 2ms. The config-as-code approach made it trivial to replicate across environments."

Daniel Okonkwo

VP of Platform, Datadog

"Meridian replaced three separate tools in our stack — API gateway, rate limiter, and observability layer. It's the single best infrastructure decision we've made this year."

Ines Moreno

Principal SRE, Shopify

"The plugin system is incredible. We wrote a custom auth middleware in Rust that runs at the edge with sub-millisecond overhead. Nothing else comes close."

Kai Nakamura

CTO, Railway
