It separates governance, security, and observability from the data plane, enabling centralized oversight without forcing gateway replacement. Key use cases include managing post-merger tech stack fragmentation, supporting hybrid cloud modernization, meeting data residency and regulatory compliance requirements, and handling specialized AI and edge workloads. The approach shifts governance from a manual gatekeeper model to automated guardrails, reducing policy drift, improving API discovery, and enabling zero-trust security across multi-cloud and on-premises environments. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
