The development team is really easy to work with. They listen to feedback from the community and implement changes based on it. Their documentation is also very good, and it is easy to learn how to accomplish whatever you want.
What do you dislike about the product?
The hardest thing for me has been trying to debug issues with my config file. It lets you know that there is an issue, but it would be nice if it told me a specific line of the file where the issue was.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is serving as our API gateway, and that allows all of our apis to access each other. It is more preformant than our old one, and requires fewer resources to run.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is only one thing that still bothers me and it's its logging. The available customisations on how a statement is logged are still quite limited.
I'd really like to see a more customisable logging implementation.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to migrate our legacy endpoints and domains to the newly created single entrypoint for all our services, and at the same time, a top notch gateway to support our microservice architecture.
We have been able to switch our legacy endpoints with no downtime for our user base by leveraging a combination of
- use virtualhost plugin
- data manipulation
- custom request/response plugins

What do you like best about the product?
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 .

What do you dislike about the product?
It is our preference to manage systems using an API, e.g REST, gRPC, GraphQL or similar. At the time of our evaluation and subsequent purchase, KrakenD does not offer such a facility. After discussing with KrakenD and our SRE team, we looked using CI/CD with configuration under source control.q
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
