API Connects and JFrog Partnership Advantage
As a software supply chain platform trusted by 80% of the Fortune 100 companies, JFrog is accomplishing big things. API Connects will bring the power of JFrog to its clients, and also transform how businesses approach software development. Here are the tactical advantages we will deliver:
Accelerated and secure software delivery
Enterprises investing in software development care a lot about turnaround time and security. While API Connects specialises in building and managing APIs, JFrog takes care of secure and reliable distribution of software artefacts (think binaries and packages) to power those APIs.
This synergy leads to faster, more efficient, and safer software releases, taking it all the way from code to customer.
DevSecOps enablement
API Connects and JFrog partnership will be a perfect match for DevSecOps. For those unaware, it’s a practice of development, security, and operations. Connecting dots between API creation and infrastructure management, we will embed security into every step of the software development process.
JFrog’s focus on securing the software supply chain complements API Connects’ API security capabilities.
Improved software quality and reliability
API Connects believes that quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten. And guess who happened to agree with our opinion? Yes, you guessed it right – JFrog. They also value quality and reliability when it comes to software development.
By merging our API management with JFrog’s secure artefact management and vulnerability scanning (kudos to JFrog Xray), we will be further reducing the chances of rolling out flawed / compromised software. Fewer bugs and reduced vulnerabilities will be the result.
End-to-end software lifecycle management
Forget the pain of juggling multiple dev tools, chaotic development, imperfect API distribution, and security risks. Collaboration between API Connects and JFrog will cover the whole software lifecycle.
From designing and developing APIs to managing and securing them, API Connects will handle everything. JFrog will focus on managing binaries and distributing them. They will also scan for security issues and orchestrate deployment with JFrog Pipelines.
Simply put, as partners, we are going to deliver clients truly all-encompassing solutions that streamline the entire process.
Simplified digital transformation with modern architectures
Given enterprises are embracing modern architectures like microservices, containerization (think Docker and Kubernetes), and cloud-native development, our partnership becomes even more pivotal. API Connects will oversee API-driven communication between microservices.
JFrog will manage container images and other artefacts that make up those microservices. Overall, a perfect synergy for your business to innovate and stay one step ahead of your competition!

How Does This Partnership Deliver Real Value?
Partnership between API Connects and JFrog is more than just combining tools. It’s also more than creating flawless, secure, scalable experiences. Here’s how our collaboration will deliver real value for enterprises:
Seamless API-driven CI/CD pipelines
Software development process should be fully automated, secure, and easy to track. While engineers at API Connects create and manage APIs, JFrog will take care of storing, scanning, and deploying software artefacts.
Outcome? Seamless, end-to-end pipeline that smoothly moves your code from commit to production deployment.
Unified security posture
Security is the utmost priority for both of us. API Connects will make certain your APIs are safeguarded with strong authentication, authorisation, and rate-limiting policies. At the same time, JFrog will protect your software supply chain by scanning for vulnerabilities, guaranteeing license compliance, and keeping tabs on where your artefacts come from.
Centralised governance and control
Managing APIs and software components is challenging. However, our partnership makes it easier by providing a single view of your whole software lifecycle. Better visibility and control means you can make informed decisions, assure compliance, and keep everything running like clockwork.
Hybrid and multi-cloud support
Be it on-premise, cloud, or hybrid, our partnership can work magic. Both API Connects and JFrog design solutions to support hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Get the freedom to deploy apps and APIs wherever they are needed without being locked into a single vendor.
Scalability and reliability for enterprise workloads
There should be no room for mistakes when it comes to mission-critical applications. As partners, we have engineered our software development solutions for high availability and performance. We will be there to tackle even the most demanding workloads for your business. Doesn’t matter if you’re a budding startup or global enterprise, we promise that our partnership will grow alongside you.
