Description

Ambassador Edge Stack, a Kubernetes-native API Gateway, provides simplicity, security, and scalability for some of the largest Kubernetes infrastructures in the world. Ambassador Edge Stack makes it easy to secure microservices with a complete set of security functionality including automatic TLS, authentication and rate limiting. WAF integration is also available. Fine-grained access control is also possible. The API Gateway is a Kubernetes-based ingress controller that supports a wide range of protocols, including gRPC, gRPC Web, TLS termination, and traffic management controls to ensure resource availability.

Description

Engineered for peak performance and efficient resource use, KrakenD can manage a staggering 70k requests per second on just one instance. Its stateless build ensures hassle-free scalability, sidelining complications like database upkeep or node synchronization. In terms of features, KrakenD is a jack-of-all-trades. It accommodates multiple protocols and API standards, offering granular access control, data shaping, and caching capabilities. A standout feature is its Backend For Frontend pattern, which consolidates various API calls into a single response, simplifying client interactions. On the security front, KrakenD is OWASP-compliant and data-agnostic, streamlining regulatory adherence. Operational ease comes via its declarative setup and robust third-party tool integration. With its open-source community edition and transparent pricing model, KrakenD is the go-to API Gateway for organizations that refuse to compromise on performance or scalability.
