Does what it claims to do

|KrakenD API Gateway
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 .

Tons of capability with easy installation/ops

|KrakenD API Gateway
Simple installation and operations make KrakenD extremely likable. There are up-to-date packages for every major OS, maintained by the KrakenD developers. It's also dead simple to install manually if necessary. Many proxy-based API gateways have multiple services that interact to create the working system (Traefik, Tyk, etc.). KrakenD cuts through all of that. I also love that you can use message brokers (RabbitMQ, SQS, etc.) as API targets. This opens up a whole new world of architectural possibilities. UPDATE Mar 2025: Now using Lambdas as backends for some things, which is extremely slick.

Excellent documentation and container images that are ready to use to evaluate

|KrakenD API Gateway
I’ve had a great experience using this API Gateway! One of the standout features is the excellent documentation. It’s well-structured, easy to follow, and provides clear explanations for a wide range of use cases. What truly sets it apart, though, is the inclusion of live working examples. These aren’t just basic snippets—you get fully functional Docker images that are ready to use right out of the box. This makes it incredibly easy to test and deploy different configurations without wasting time on setup.
