OUR SERVICE OFFERING

Naoplay expertise

Naoplay specializes in optimizing API ecosystems and API governance, providing innovative solutions to enhance the agility and security of corporate information systems. Our unique approach, "Smart Proxization", simplifies the integration and management of digital services, enabling organizations to modernize their IT systems while ensuring data protection.

APIs

API stands for “Application Programming Interfaces“. They were introduced several decades ago and allow developers to connect applications together.

Offering greater flexibility and better collaboration for developers and users, API nowadays play a key role in digital transformation projects.

As the use of APIs increases, API gateways and API Management platforms are becoming essential IT components for effectively managing “API-enabled” services, and finally allowing companies to maximize their uses.

API Gateway

The API Gateway acts as a secure bridge between clients and backend services, regulating access to APIs through authentication and authorization rules, and optimizing interactions with features like caching and orchestration.

It enables centralized API management, ensuring security and efficiency in both internal and external communications. Backend APIs are enhanced with proxies for increased security and improved performance.

API Management

API Management is the control tower above your API Gateways.

This is where users, billing, and usage data of "API-fied" services are managed.

It also provides enhanced security for sharing your data and functionalities confidently with partners and third-party developers.

Take your business to the next level with API management.

Proxization

In the urbanization of the Information System, APIs play a key role as they generate the abstraction layer between different business domains.

Thoughtful proxying involves consolidating all the services and data of a business entity at a single point.

We presented our Smart Proxying approach at APIdays Paris 2023. You can view this presentation :

OUR APPROACH

Smart Proxization

Smart Proxization is a methodology developed by Naoplay to intelligently leverage the capabilities of proxies and turn API management into a strategic asset.

Rather than simply exposing or securing APIs, it aims to structure, govern, and optimize flows by placing proxies at the core of information system architecture and urbanization.

Traditional proxy-based approach's limitations

Security handled in silos, poorly aligned with business challenges
Proliferation of proxies without a consolidated vision
Unanticipated technical debt and scalability issues
AI, data, or cloud integration often added as an afterthought

The pillars of our approach

Proxy / API mapping: Identification of entry points, redundancies, and technical overlaps
API journey modeling: Business alignment, security, and cloud integration
Proxy pattern definition: Reverse proxy, façade, orchestration, caching, etc.
Governance & observability: Implementation of rules, dashboards, and alerts
AI/Data readiness: Flow structuring, contract-first design, enhanced observability

How Smart Proxization changes the game
