Overview

Yaade is a collaborative API development environment that stands out due to its strong emphasis on being open-source and self-hosted. This architecture ensures that all your sensitive API data, including secrets and passwords, remains securely stored on your own servers, mitigating the risks associated with third-party cloud services. It's built from the ground up to be easy to set up with minimal hardware requirements, making it accessible for various team sizes and infrastructure setups.

Beyond its core functionality as an API development tool, Yaade prioritizes user management flexibility by allowing integration with external authentication providers like OAuth2 and OIDC. This means you can leverage your existing identity management systems, streamlining user access and maintaining consistent security policies. The open-source nature also invites community contributions, fostering a transparent and evolving platform for API development.
