It seems to be very simple and could be ideal for what I’m looking for.

I discovered there are a bunch of platforms available, like Kong, Apigee, Swagger, API-platform, and others. Some are open-source and some are strictly commercial. Some are hosted, some can be hosted anywhere. They all claim to be super-easy to use, although I’m sure that’s a highly-relative term.
