3scale provides Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) management infrastructure for customers’ APIs, enabling them to open, control, manage, and monetize the distribution and usage of data, content, or services to multiple devices or mobile/Web applications. 3scale is based in Barcelona, London, and Sunnyvale, California, USA.
3scale has used Amazon Web Services (AWS) since it was founded in 2007. Steven Willmott of 3scale says, “AWS allowed our company to grow its infrastructure on demand over time, despite us having only a small amount of seed capital available.” Though 3scale has a small amount of failure resource available to its clients on other cloud-hosted infrastructures, all core operations are on AWS. 3scale does not operate any in-house servers, except for testing or long-term archiving / backup.
