The KrakenD Enterprise Playground

Document updated on Sep 27, 2018

The KrakenD Enterprise Playground is a Docker Compose demonstration environment that puts together the necessary pieces to get you started with our API Gateway, using example use-cases.

As KrakenD is an API gateway, we have added surrounding services:

• Internal and third-party services that feed the gateway
• Authentication/authorization examples, including JWT token-based authentication with Auth0 integration, a JWT token revoker, API-Key-based authentication, and basic authentication.
• Static assets to test the by KrakenD Static Server based on disk content
• Integrations with Grafana+Influx (metrics), ELK (log storing and visualization), and Jaeger (tracing).

An environment ready to use!

The KrakenD Enterprise Playground can be managed easily using customized make commands. Once up & running, you can fire up your browser, curl, Postman, httpie or anything else you use to interact with the services.

$  make start

$  make logs

$  make stop

Have a look at the docker-compose.yml file to understand how these services interact together, and also at the krakend.json file to find out what endpoints are exposed.
