Rappi Case Study

Rappi operates one of the most complex API environments in Latin America, 2,000 APIs, thousands of microservices, non-stop CI/CD releases, and traffic spikes that demand instant autoscaling. Imperva couldn't keep up. Read how Rappi's Head of DevSecOps made the switch to Wallarm, implemented API security as infrastructure-as-code, and got a protection layer that finally scales with the business.
