Resurface

Resurface (Resurface Labs, Inc.) develops software for monitoring and securing application programming interfaces. The product captures API calls from pre-production through live environments and treats each call as a durable, observable transaction, so that teams can trace failures back to root cause and remediate them. The company frames its approach as "user-centric" API monitoring, intended to let organizations see their services as customers experience them rather than relying on anecdotal information when troubleshooting.

The company's published material describes continuous API intelligence covering both quality and security: surfacing how APIs are being used and misused, and exposing attacks, failures, and quality issues at runtime. Stated benefits include scoring user behavior, performance and quality of service across multiple dimensions; a DevOps-friendly model that reduces escalations to development teams and gives DevOps, QA and data science staff direct access to detailed production API data; and first-party ownership and control of API data by the customer.

Resurface distributes a substantial amount of tooling as open source through its GitHub organization, including API call loggers for Go, eBPF and Insomnia, containers and Helm charts for Kubernetes deployment, NDJSON and binary file readers/writers, importer/exporter and transformer utilities for its database, a Trino connector, and infrastructure-as-code templates for deploying Graylog API Security.
