How we support IBM DataPower Gateway → Cloudflare API Gateway after migration

✓Fixed-scope projects, no budget surprises
✓Senior engineers who know both gateways
✓40–70% savings compared to legacy support
✓US-based support for critical timelines
✓Bridge internal DataPower + edge Cloudflare

Private network routes cannot leave the firewall

Your intranet-only DataPower nodes handle internal calls. Our bridge keeps support for those nodes while migrating public APIs to Cloudflare.

WS-Security and heavy XML/SOAP architectures

We refactor complex WS-Security logic and XML processing to run on Cloudflare Workers or back-end proxy calls without exposing metadata.

Client certificate (mTLS) processing on-prem

Private keys stay behind your firewall. We design Cloudflare API Gateway to validate mTLS with local infrastructure, not move the keys.

IBM DataPower Gateway → Cloudflare API Gateway migration — your questions answered

Can you migrate while my internal DataPower stays active?+

Yes. Our bridge approach keeps on-prem nodes running for private routes while public endpoints move to Cloudflare. No forced cutover.

How do you handle WS-Security or SAML for backend APIs?+

We refactor token validation to Cloudflare Workers or back-end proxy. Legacy XML can still be processed if needed, with audit logs.

What about client certificate (mTLS) where keys can't leave?+

Cloudflare can forward mTLS signals to your internal Gateway. Private keys never leave your network. We design secure handshake.

What is the typical duration and team size?+

Projects run 4–9 months with 2–4 security consultants. We deliver fixed-scope with no uncovered deadlines.

Optimize Workers, WAF, and DDoS rules post-migration

After migration, we provide Cloudflare Workers optimization, Edge WAF monitoring, and DDoS rule management to keep your APIs fast and protected.
