Apigee announces general availability of APIM Extension Processor- Google Developers Blog

What this post added

Introduces the Apigee Extension Processor, a traffic extension for Cloud Load Balancing, enabling Apigee API management policies to be applied to gRPC streaming traffic. This bridges the gap for managing gRPC streaming services, which are not natively supported by Apigee in inline proxy mode. The solution involves the Application Load Balancer acting as the Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) and Apigee as the Policy Decision Point (PDP), allowing for authentication, authorization, and rate limiting on gRPC streams destined for backends like Cloud Run.
