Some insights: Apache APISIX Slack channel[1] is under the Apache Software Foundation, and 1000+ members joined in to ask questions or share cases around Apache APISIX API Gateway or its Ingress Controller.<p>After asking users why they prefer Apache APISIX than other solutions, there have four important points:<p>1. Feature Rich: Many users need to use API Gateway with OpenID Providers (e.g., Auth0, Keycloak), other solutions sold this feature on Enterprise Product only. There has one How-to guide "Use Keycloak with API Gateway to protect your APIs".<p>2. Quick Support: Apache APISIX has many active contributors and maintainers, they keep watching activities on GitHub[3], Slack[1], Mailing List and other channels. When users ask questions, they respond quickly, the goal is to help users onboard quick.<p>3. Apache Project: After APISIX project was donated to the Apache Software Foundation, it means nobody can change its License any more, so enjoy Apache projects ([<a href="https://www.apache.org](https://www.apache.org)" rel="nofollow">https://www.apache.org](https://www.apache.org)</a>).<p>4. Benchmark is excellent, and the most active maintainer's explaination here[4]: LuaJIT + Nginx.<p>P.S Welcome to join Apache APISIX Slack[1] to discuss, and you can find many useful posts from its blog[5].<p>- 1. <a href="https://apisix.apache.org/slack" rel="nofollow">https://apisix.apache.org/slack</a>
