• Ultra-high-speed of processing: +70.000K requests per second by one single instance.
• Lower operational costs: high-performance results in lower resources consumption, allowing you to save costs.
• True linear scalability: a stateless design that prevents a Single Point of Failure and avoids any coordination or centralized persistence of configuration.
• Powerful content manipulation: transform between formats, aggregate or transform data, modernize legacy systems into modern REST APIs…
• Connect to multiple backend systems: including not only API-based backends but also Lambda serverless functions, queue systems, or WebSockets.
• Authentication: protect the access to your services integrating any third party service based on JWT, client credentials, Oauth2, OpenID, mTLS, API-Keys, or Basic Auth.
• Best security by default: TLS 1.2 & 1.3, clickjacking protection, CSS protection, CORS, Memguard for secrets, mTLS
• Monitor & Analytics: Send your logs, metrics and traces to any third-party and analyse them using ELK, Jaeger, Grafana, or SaaS providers.
• Avoid vendor lock-in: instead of offering an all-in-one closed solution, KrakenD integrates with best-standard solutions for metrics or authentication.
