26 Million Daily API Calls. No Room for Error.
When a global financial services leader needed to migrate from Apigee Edge to Apigee X, the stakes were immediate and unambiguous. Seven million customers. Twenty-six million API calls every day. Any disruption means customers can't trade, advisors can't access accounts, and the business loses credibility it took years to build.
Most enterprise migrations at this scale accept some level of risk. We designed this one to eliminate it.
A Migration Built Around What Can't Break
We started with lower-risk workloads — validating Apigee X performance before touching anything mission-critical. Business continuity mattered more than speed.
What made zero disruption possible:
- A custom automation framework that synchronized Developers, Apps, and API Products between platforms in real time — API consumers experienced no downtime, no performance degradation, no manual workarounds
- Blue-green and canary deployment strategies with instant rollback options — not theoretical safeguards, but operational requirements for financial systems that demand absolute reliability
- Apigee X integration with GCP Identity and Access Management and the client's identity provider, enabling granular access controls and full audit visibility
- Akamai maintaining consistent security policies across environments during coexistence
- CI/CD pipelines and automated governance enabling faster, more secure deployments from day one on the new platform
Zero Downtime. A Platform Built for What's Next.
The migration delivered exactly what it promised: zero client impact. Twenty-six million API calls now run entirely on Apigee X across customer and advisor channels.
Dual-platform maintenance costs are gone. Deployment cycles are faster. Teams push changes with built-in rollback options and automated testing — less manual work, more control. GCP compliance certifications and Apigee X data residency controls give the organization granular access management and full audit trails.
Financial regulations demand proof, not promises. This platform delivers both.
And with AI-powered anomaly detection, threat identification, and Gemini-enabled developer tools now live, the migration didn't just modernize the infrastructure. It positioned the business to deliver AI-enhanced digital services at the scale its customers expect.
That's the difference between a migration that accepts risk and one designed to eliminate it.
