Instead of Google Cloud Endpoints
Google Cloud Endpoints alternatives
Google Cloud Endpoints provides API management for securing, monitoring, analyzing, and setting quotas. ESP or ESPv2 proxies handle APIs described with OpenAPI 2.0, OpenAPI 3.x, or gRPC. It supports documented Google Cloud backends, Kubernetes, Knative, and Docker-hosted APIs that can reach Google Cloud. API keys identify a Google Cloud project for quotas, billing, and monitoring; Firebase Authentication and Auth0 provide documented JWT validation. Service Infrastructure puts logs and metrics in the Google Cloud console, and lifecycle management, access policies, and API analytics are included.

Alternatives appeal when Endpoints' hybrid deployment, Google Cloud project-based API keys, or usage-based pricing do not fit. The free tier covers 1,999,999 calls; standard usage is $3 per million calls, high volume is $1.50, and quota support is Beta with potentially limited support. Every quota request needs an API key. When switching, compare supported protocols, authentication, traffic controls, hosting environments, governance, data-API generation, catalog features, and whether an open-source or managed model suits your operations.
