A Powerhouse API Gateway That Delivers Top-Tier Developer Experience with Effortless Simplicity

  • October 11, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We chose KrakenD over other gateway platforms because:
- It's easy to operate and configure: JSON or YAML, you choose.
- You can managed the configuration via GitOps practices.
- It supports OpenTelemetry integration for observability.
- It supports multiple backend protocols (HTTP, gRPC, Lambda, among many others).
- It's easy to manipulate data and compose .
- It's easy to extend via custom plugin development at different stages of the request pipeline.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is only one thing that still bothers me and it's its logging. The available customisations on how a statement is logged are still quite limited.
I'd really like to see a more customisable logging implementation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to migrate our legacy endpoints and domains to the newly created single entrypoint for all our services, and at the same time, a top notch gateway to support our microservice architecture.
We have been able to switch our legacy endpoints with no downtime for our user base by leveraging a combination of
- use virtualhost plugin
- data manipulation
- custom request/response plugins

Does what it claims to do

  • October 10, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
KrakenD has proven to have both a product that delivered the outcome we were looking for and be an organisation that is pleasant to work with.

The Gateway is a critical part of our architecture for our customer-facing console and was easier to implement than other systems we have worked with in the past. When we did have questions, KrakenD responded promptly. KrakenD have also listened to suggestions for product enhancements with an open mind and provided reasoned feedback .
What do you dislike about the product?
It is our preference to manage systems using an API, e.g REST, gRPC, GraphQL or similar. At the time of our evaluation and subsequent purchase, KrakenD does not offer such a facility. After discussing with KrakenD and our SRE team, we looked using CI/CD with configuration under source control.q
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Authenticates requests from a variety of sources and routes them correctly.

It is very flexible and offers a wide variety of powerful features for developers. The whole configuration process is very fast and easy. It has the ability to merge microservices, which greatly improves response time. It is very easy to edit the gateway behavior using KrakenDesigner. I really like how you can automatically merge user data.
