Episode 75 of The Open Source Business with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna dive into how open source companies turn API gateways into revenue engines. They examine Kong's journey from a free gateway to a $100M+ business, the strategic shift from license-based to usage-based pricing for API calls, and how Apache APISIX monetizes through managed cloud services. They also discuss the tension between keeping the core gateway free while charging for enterprise features like security, rate limiting, and analytics. A concrete look at API economics for builders and operators. #OpenSourceBusiness #APIGateway #Kong #ApacheAPISIX #UsageBasedPricing #RevenueModel #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #OpenCore #DeveloperTools #SaaS #CloudNative #APIEconomy #MonetizationStrategy #EnterpriseFeatures #RateLimiting #ManagedServices Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
