One frequent question over the last six weeks is "if Apigee is still a preview product can I use it for my production app?"

Yes, you can use Apigee as a proxy for production APIs. Dozens of production apps run on Apigee today. (many of which we'll keep showcasing on this blog)

The current Apigee preview is built on a proven platform and architecture that delivers carrier-grade levels of uptime. Some specifics:

• Apigee's core is our Sonoa ServiceNet enterprise platform. This is the same API Infrastructure that runs over 60 financial services, media, and SaaS companies running critical apps at high traffic levels.
• From the load balancers to the database and everything in between, we built redundancy into every level of Apigee.
• We designed Apigee for zero downtime upgrades so that your proxies will stay up and running even as we apply fixes for bugs and enhance Apigee with new features.
• Our uptime targets for the preview are 99.9% for API proxies and 99% for the Apigee website.
• And we have operational teams in San Francisco, USA and Bangalore, India constantly monitoring Apigee so that we can respond 24x7 to any issues.

So even though Apigee is currently in private preview, we take your business very seriously and we've built the service to be enterprise-grade from the ground up.
