Haven't hit the limitation yet, but they have enterprise versions and might to upgrade later.

KrakenD provides API gateway, and we can manage our APIs with this platform, it provides a lot of option while giving really good performance.

API aggregation . Endpoint addition specifically with microservice. Api response modifier .
custom Template configuration for config.json also known as flexible configuration.

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of configuration and well structured documentation. Adding new endpoints is a breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
Took a bit of a deep-dive to get running in the way we needed on our infra.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
An easily configurable and explorable API gateway. Much easier to have the dev team embrace it and take ownership of maintaining the solution.

What do you like best about the product?
It's so easy to start with it with some basic configuration. The excellent documentation makes it easy. It's straightforward and fast. The stateless architecture makes it very scalable
What do you dislike about the product?
Complex scenarios takes time to understand. It's not widely used so the community is limited. I would appreciate real world example to compare.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used it for orchestrating calls to out api from the backend for frontend. It scales so well and gives use excellent performance. The config file makes easy to modify by the different teams.

Paid enterprise features - a necessary evil

Fast, powerful and easy to configure

  • November 11, 2022

What do you like best about the product?
I used krakend community edition api gateway in every projects that I worked on. It's very fast to set up and run, very easy to configure, it uses very few resources and has a lot of useful plugins that solve most of the problems that you can encounter. For example in the most case I use plugin for jwt and roles validation on endpoints, plugin for modify request/response headers or plugin for limiting the requests per seconds on endpoints. It has a well done and complete documentation and the authors on GitHub are very active and answers very fast if you have an issue. I love this api gateway.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are only two things that I dislike of Krakend. The first thing is that it is not possible to create wildcard path for endpoints (an architectural decision). The second thing is the conflicts with endpoints that you can encounter for example if you define two endpoints with the same http method like this: "/api/exhibitions/search", "/api/exhibitions/{exhibitionCode}". But this is caused by a limitation of the router package (a Go package called gin-gonic/gin router) used in the core of Krakend.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Krakend helps me to protect every single microservices that exposes rest apis by evaluating the jwt, it also checks the roles inside the jwt for allowing calls to the services only to certains users.
