Hi Chris,
I am a bit late to the discussion but I am really intrigued by your message :-)
Would you be able to share more details on potential use cases you identify?
Why would a company use several gateways?
Thanks

Cheers:
Feel free to PM me on twitter.

Hi Jean
All companies with API Management projects I have contributed to recently use different gateway vendors internally. This may be due to organizational reasons (lack of coordination between different departments) or technology evolution (central gateway vs micro gateway, advent of service meshes).
In addition I think this could be a door-opener for Gravitee in companies using CA, WSO2 or other vendors with weak developer portal solutions.

Since Gravitee is already highly modularized, the only thing needed is an abstracted API gateway interface (sounds simple, but might be a lot of effort). I'm in discussion with David about it.

Cheers, Chris
