API gateways are one of the most vital elements that ensure communication between microservices, cloud applications, and other enterprise systems. For example, KrakenD offers a stateless architecture which streamlines performance, scalability, and security of API management. In this post, we will delve deeper into how Massil merges API management solutions together with KrakenD’s capabilities to ensure low-latency, high-speed API aggregation. 

The Need for High-Performance API Gateways

Outdated API management solutions witness traffic and performance bottlenecks as applications scale their ecosystems, which can prove highly detrimental. For this reason, high-performance API gateways must:

• Aggregate multiple API calls into one
• Reduce latency for responses
• Handle numerous incoming requests simultaneously using limited resources
• Ensure security governance at high speeds

As a lightweight, stateless architecture designed for optimal performance, KrakenD answers all of these challenges and more. 

KrakenD: The High-Speed API Gateway

Fetching security governance information should not mean enhanced latency as a trade-off. Unlike traditional gateways, KrakenD replaces middleware bottlenecks with ultra-lightweight mechanisms that allow businesses to manage thousands of requests per second with minimal infrastructure costs.

Let’s understand why KrakenD is a must have for your business.

1. Not One-size-fit-all Architecture: Unlike traditional gateways, single access data does not save session information, so it’s easy to scale, and sturdy.
2. Fast Rate API Aggregation: Receives multiple APIs and transforms them into one single request to be executed.
3. Highly Customizable Gateway: Offers behavior changing plugins, caching systems, and serverless functions.
4. Better Security Policies: Stronger IP filtering, rate limits, OAuth , and JWT authentication security.
5. Great at Edge Computing: Helps in content distribution as well as decreases the load on backend servers, making it useful at the network edge. 

Leveraging on KrakenD to Improve Performance of Microservices

Microservices architecture enables the application to be split into different services for smoother management. If your API Gateway is not functioning well, unnecessary API calls may hinder the performance of the application and imposes infrastructure expenses.

You can fully rely on KrakenD for:

• Offering Centralized API Management by allowing more control over API governance
• Better Partial redirection by API call aggregation
• Better handling of backend systems by providing efficient request handling
• Optimized API response control by removing redundant data processing

Lowering costs which contribute towards building scalable, and resilient microservices architecture is the main goal for enterprises, which KennyD helps accomplish effortlessly.
