- Proxylity's API Gateway enables UDP traffic to be directed to HTTP/HTTPS endpoints, facilitating integration with cloud platforms like Adafruit IO and automation tools like Zapier.
- The solution eliminates the need for custom proxy servers, protocol translation layers, and complex networking configurations by leveraging AWS's managed infrastructure.
- UDP packets are transformed into HTTP requests via API Gateway, allowing IoT sensors and legacy systems to interact with modern REST APIs seamlessly.
- The architecture supports cross-cloud integrations, including GCP and Azure, enabling IoT data to trigger services like Vertex AI or Azure Functions without VPN setups.
- Automation platforms such as Zapier, Make, n8n, and Power Automate can be triggered by UDP messages, enabling workflows like Jira ticket creation or Slack notifications.
- IAM policies provide secure, granular control over which external APIs can be invoked, ensuring auditable and revocable access without shared secrets.
- Debugging is supported through multi-layer observability, including UDP payload capture, API Gateway logs, and external service logs.
- API Gateway offers both HTTP API for simple passthrough and REST API for complex transformations, catering to different integration needs.
- The solution unlocks architectural flexibility, enabling multi-cloud strategies, hybrid cloud patterns, and serverless integration of UDP-based systems with modern services.
