Wag-Tail API Collaboration Portal
Wag-Tail API Collaboration Portal is a paid, self-hosted and web-based system for enterprise API teams.
What Wag-Tail API Collaboration Portal is
Wag-Tail API Collaboration Portal is a paid, self-hosted and web-based system for enterprise API teams. It combines a partner-facing Developer Portal with an internal Admin Portal. Partners can discover catalogued APIs, manage applications and credentials, receive notifications, and view API health. Internal teams can catalogue, version, and deprecate APIs, with maker-checker approval required before deployment. Separate sandbox and production configurations support staged operations, while configuration hot reload is described as zero-downtime. Access uses separate Keycloak realms and role-based permissions for makers, checkers, operators, and administrators. Applications can use API keys or mTLS certificates, with scheduled rotation and AES-256 encryption at rest. Dashboards cover request and error rates, p95 and p99 latency, system health, and usage by partner and API. The portal also provides immutable audit trails, retention settings, partner announcements, migration tracking, KONG/OpenResty and Redis runtime components, and container-native deployment on-premise, in private cloud, hybrid setups, or Docker. Pricing is on request and there is no free plan.
