The fastest API gateway.
True linear scalability.
KrakenD is a stateless, distributed, high-performance API Gateway that helps you effortlessly adopt microservices.
Trusted by large companies around the world
Go beyond a simple reverse-proxy
The API Gateway pattern at its full extent
KrakenD creates an API able to connect, secure, aggregate, transform or remove data from your services.
High performance
Power your APIs with unrivaled speed. KrakenD handles thousands of requests per second, outperforming the competition. Whether you're scaling globally or running intense workloads, KrakenD's stateless architecture ensures consistent, top-tier performance.
Simplicity
A single binary and its configuration are all you need to manage your API gateway in a GitOps way. No cumbersome dependencies that increase your infrastructure costs.
Stable, Flat Pricing
Transparent, and predictable pricing. KrakenD offers unlimited requests and APIs in all its plans. Our commercial model does not have hidden costs or extras, so you can stay on the same budget even when you scale.
Unprecedented throughput
Built for Performance
KrakenD's stateless architecture and performance-first approach for every internal component beat any API Gateway in the market.
Network Limit Verification
Resource Consumption Assessment
Independent Performance Benchmarking
* Independent study from the IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC)
Solving Shared Concerns
KrakenD saves you time by handling common concerns across all your microservices, allowing you to focus solely on your business logic instead of re-implementing the same layers repeatedly.
API Aggregation
Create faster interactions with automatic API Composition and aggregation of multiple data sources into a single response.
Traffic Management
Control your traffic with rules like rate limiting, concurrent calls, shadow proxy, bot detection, circuit breaker, IP filtering, and others.
Authentication
End-User validation and gateway to service validation: JWT, Client credentials, Oauth2, OpenID, API-Keys, Basic Auth, mTLS.
Services Connectivity
Connect not only to REST APIs, but many other services like RabbitMQ, SNS, SQS, Kafka, GraphQL, gRPC, SOAP, Lambda...
Data and Protocol Manipulation
Modify the data you return to the end-user, or the payload you send to your services. Filter fields, enrich responses, convert from SOAP, JSON or XML automatically.
Monitor & Analytics
Thanks to our OpenTelemetry integrations and other exporters, you can push logs, metrics, and traces to your favorite processors or telemetry providers.
Documentation
With the OpenAPI exporter, you can automatically generate rich documentation websites. Have an OpenAPI? Then, create your API gateway using the OpenAPI specs!
GitOps Operated
Manage your API gateway exactly as you are managing the rest of the services today. Put the configuration in a version control system and delegate the needed parts to each team.

I'm excited to hear that KrakenD framework is being brought into the family of open source projects managed by the Linux Foundation. I believe this shows the global community the commitment KrakenD has to keeping their technology open source and free to use. With the adoption that already exists, and this new promise towards the future, I expect amazing things for the product and the community around it.William Kennedy
Managing Partner, Ardan Studios
The Opensource model always was a great proof of innovation and nowadays a synonym of high-quality products and incredible attention with the real needs from the market (Customer Experience). The Linux Foundation is one of the catalysts of incredible solutions, and KrakenD and now Lura would not have a better place to be. With this move, I am sure that it is a start of a new era for this incredible solution in the API Gateway space, the market will be astonished by a lot of good things about to come.Edgar Silva
