Flows Overview

At the core of Lunar Flows is the ability to define precise rules and configurations at every stage of a request or response. This modular approach ensures reusable and scalable configurations, ideal for managing complex traffic patterns and optimizing performance.

Flows enable organizations to optimize API usage, control traffic flow, and enforce quotas with unparalleled flexibility. Flows are modular and scalable, designed to support both legacy and cloud-native environments, making them adaptable to evolving API ecosystems.

With Lunar Flows you can:​

  • Granular Control: Define detailed rules at each step of the API request or response process, ensuring accurate management of API traffic.
  • Dynamic Quota Management: Set up flexible quota enforcement, including grouping by HTTP headers and supporting shared quotas across different flows. Learn how to configure quotas by visiting the Configure Your API Quotas page.
  • Real-Time Insights: Track performance, monitor quota efficiency, and analyze error reduction in real time, helping to measure ROI and optimize operations.
  • Customizable & Modular: Flows allow organizations to build custom API pipelines, offering the flexibility to address unique use cases and adapt policies as business needs evolve.
