KrakenD

High-performance API gateway that aggregates many services

About KrakenD

A high-performance open source API gateway that aggregates, filters and transforms responses from many backend services into single API endpoints, with declarative configuration and no state. It offers a free entry point, with paid cloud or enterprise tiers adding hosted operation, advanced features, support or higher limits for teams that outgrow self-hosting. That model lets individuals evaluate it on real work first, then pay only when collaboration, scale, compliance or convenience requirements justify a subscription for the whole organisation.
