What's are the available options for monetizing an API for an individual developer who would pay a cut in sales than upfront on a larger platform. It should handle user-registration, rate-limiting, billing, and analytics. Options other than AWS API gateway.

Havent used it but someone posted an article abount Kong api gateway recently. It seems they have an open source free versipn as well as an enterprise version. https://getkong.org/about/advantages/

Again, i cant vouch for it, but it might be worth exploring.

I wrote one in a week, at least two times. It is not that hard to integrate Stripe or something like that, but so many API hosting services just don't.
