Faced with the task of streamlining external integration workflows for its global clinical trial technology platform, Suvoda encountered a challenging landscape. The clinical trials the platform supports are often highly complex and operate on tight timelines.
Unifying a fast-growing API ecosystem
Suvoda needed a more efficient way to manage third party integrations with other clinical technology provider solutions. The objective: create a single integration layer that simplifies client connectivity, scales effortlessly, and enforces consistent security and governance.
Centralizing the API layer across the Suvoda Platform with KrakenD
As a central gateway for all external applications, KrakenD streamlines API request processing, including applicable request transformations and secure routing to the appropriate backend service. This enabled Suvoda to:
- Standardize authentication and access controls
- Reduce backend coupling
- Monitor and observe all API traffic through a single point of control
A scalable architecture and centrally enforced security
With KrakenD in place, Suvoda can now:
- Accelerate high-complexity integrations
- Derive rich and actionable API usage insights
- Implement security best practices centrally
Internally, teams operate with more clarity and efficiency. Externally, clients experience fewer dependencies. The result is a more agile integration model, aligned with the needs of clinical trials.
Why Suvoda chose KrakenD
Suvoda selected KrakenD because of the powerful yet flexible functionality it offers.
- Flexibility: gRPC, REST, WebSockets, SOAP—all supported natively
- Authentication out of the box: OAuth2, JWT, API keys, mTLS
- No overhead: Declarative configuration and stateless design for efficient deployment
Unlike other API platforms, KrakenD offered enterprise-grade capabilities without rigidity, without bloat, and without unnecessary complexity.
KrakenD is packed with features, is flexible, and easy to use. This has helped us implement both standard and custom EDC, CTMS, and other types of integrations in an efficient and secure manner, enabling Suvoda to deliver mission-critical integrations faster, where time is of the essence.
