History

[edit]

Sonoa Systems was founded in 2004 in Santa Clara, California, by Raj Singh and Ravi Chandra. In early 2006, Sonoa brought on Chet Kapoor as CEO.[2] Initially the company developed a router-like appliance for XML / SOA Governance, but over time branched into application platforms and cloud computing. In 2009, Sonoa released a public beta of an API management tool called Apigee, providing app developers with a free, Cloud-based platform for providing security and analytics for their APIs.[3] In 2010, Sonoa rebranded as Apigee, and the API Management platform became the core of the business, with premium features added shortly after.[4]

Apigee quickly expanded its corporate customer base, including the likes of Netflix and Walgreens. In 2012, Apigee acquired Mobile API company Usergrid[5] and in 2014, it acquired predictive analytics company InsightsOne.[6] On April 24, 2015 (2015-04-24), Apigee raised $87 million through a public IPO on the NASDAQ.[7]

In 2015, Apigee became a founding member (along with SmartBear and IBM) of the OpenAPI initiative, under the sponsorship of the Linux Foundation.[8]

On September 8, 2016 (2016-09-08), Google announced it would purchase Apigee for $625 million, and the deal was completed in November 2016.[9][1]
