@apiark
Expose & protect any API in 60s. β‘οΈ Dev-first API Gateway-as-a-Service π‘οΈ HTTPS, Auth, Rate Limits, Logs no config β¨οΈ CLI-native. Zero YAML. Maximum peace. π― Built for indie devs, testers & backend rebels. π Join the pioneers β apiark.io/pioneer
Donβt write docs after the fact.
Write the spec, let everything else follow.
OpenAPI is the truth.
Code, docs, and tests all agree.
Your service failed. Client retries instantly.
Then again. And again. And again.
Eventually: meltdown.
Thatβs why APIARK adds circuit breakers and retry backoff.
Built into the gateway. Not your app.
Pick your gateway
π macOS
πͺ Windows
π§ Linux
Expose from anywhere, securely.
See whatβs going wrong before your users do.
Realtime metrics. Error patterns.
The APIARK is your observability layer.
My microservice: simple business logic
My infra: nginx + envoy + ratelimiter + custom auth + cert manager
Just to test one POST route π
Now? Just one CLI: `apigateway --port=`
Let your API handle logic.
Let the gateway handle:
π‘οΈ Auth
π¦ Throttling
π Monitoring
π Retry policies
APIARK = less YAML, more control.
See methods, latency, origin per request.
Debug with full context.
Your logs arenβt noise. Theyβre signals.
Expose with TLS.
Protect with OAuth2 or API keys.
Secure by default, not as an afterthought.
Your dev tools should respect your data.
An API gateway is your backendβs traffic cop π¦
It throttles abusive clients,
stops spikes,
and lets your service *breathe*.
Rate limits? Built-in with APIARK.
What route is live?
Which key has access?
How many requests hit today?
Check your gateway at a glance.
Just testing a new route?
Skip the deploy. Expose it with:
> ./apigateway --port=4000
Now you're live. And safe.
Spec first. Code later.
OpenAPI saves time, bugs, and DMs.
> /docs β optional
Who deployed?
Which route broke?
What changed?
Your gateway knows π.
And remembers.
Retry loops without limits = meltdown π₯
With APIARK, your gateway can enforce:
β
Circuit breakers
β
Retry backoff
β
Traffic control
Your API stays responsive.
Even when clients get... impatient.
Every deploy eats time.
Every rollback steals morale.
Expose your local API for testing.
No CI/CD needed.
> apigateway --port=3000
π§ͺ When you test your backend API, you usually:
A) Push to staging
B) Use tunnels (ngrok, etc)
C) Build custom infra
D) Cry in localhost
Comment below π
Not all APIs are meant to go live.
Use APIARK to expose internal dev APIs
Secure, traceable, logged.
No surprises.
Your backend API doesnβt need to be public.
APIARK becomes the surface.
πClients talk to us
πWe proxy to you
πWe add auth, limits & TLS
πYou stay safe
Like having your own lightweight gateway (WAF & more features are coming...)
Ever wonder how close you are to rate limit burnout?
APIARK tracks it live.
π See it in the dashboard
Progress isn't always MRR.
Sometimes itβs exposing your local API without deploying a thing and seeing the first request hit logs.
That counts. Ship anyway. β‘οΈ
Confession: I once deployed a full backend just to test one webhook.π€
Never again.
Now I just tunnel it. With logging. With auth.
60s. Done.
"Just write a few lines of YAML..."
4 hours later:
rateLimit:
enabled: true
rules:
- path: /api/v1
limit: 100
period: 1m
burst: 20
punish: π₯
π§ APIARK: Zero YAML. Zero therapy.
> ./apigateway --token=<your-token> --port 3000
Thatβs it.
API is live. Secured. Logged.
No dashboard needed, but itβs there if you want it.
Whatβs hitting your API?
With APIARK, you donβt have to guess.
π IPs
π Methods
π Status codes
π Latency
Track every request. Instantly.
π§βπ» π Calling all pioneers.
If youβve ever screamed at YAML just to expose a portβ¦
We built APIARK for you.
Dev-first. CLI-native.
No config. No bs.

Your backend doesnβt need to be public.
Expose it safely with:
π HTTPS
π¦ Rate limits
π Logs
βοΈ Auth headers
> apigateway --port 4000
Just 60s.
Building a microSaaS?
Expose your API in 60s.
Connect your DB.
Test it live, from your frontend.
No deploy. No nonsense.

Security is not a feature.
Itβs the foundation.
π HTTPS enabled by default
𧬠Encrypted for every route
βοΈ No certs. No configs. No YAML.
