Case Study: Rappi secures 2,000 APIs with Wallarm

Rappi secures 2,000 APIs with Wallarm

Rappi, a major Latin American super-app and e-commerce delivery network, faced significant API security challenges. Their complex environment included 2,000 APIs and thousands of microservices with non-stop CI/CD releases and traffic spikes requiring instant autoscaling. Their previous solution, Imperva SecureSphere WAF, could not scale effectively or integrate with their infrastructure-as-code approach. This led them to seek a new solution from the vendor Wallarm.

Wallarm implemented its end-to-end API security solution, which included API discovery, threat prevention, and security testing. The key advantage was its infrastructure-as-code readiness, allowing for seamless integration with Rappi's Bitbucket pipeline and enabling push changes to live infrastructure. The Wallarm solution provided robust protection for both REST and SOAP APIs and delivered critical autoscaling capabilities, able to scale up within 1-2 minutes to handle Rappi's heavy traffic loads. This provided Rappi with a protection layer that finally scales with their business.
