# KrakenD API Gateway

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/485536/KrakenD

> KrakenD API Gateway is a high-performance API gateway solution that helps businesses in finance, healthcare, government, and technology manage, secure, and optimize their APIs. It suits organizations of all sizes, from startups to large enterprises. KrakenD API Gateway can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud, giving teams flexibility to fit their existing infrastructure.

Authentication tools control who can access APIs, supporting common standards for identity verification. Traffic management features give teams control over how requests are routed and handled. Support is available through documentation, a knowledge base, community forums, and paid support plans for teams that need direct assistance. KrakenD API Gateway is a strong fit for development and engineering teams looking to simplify API management without relying on a hosted third-party service.
