Fully On-Premise
KrakenD runs 100% on-premise with zero external dependencies. No callbacks, no telemetry, no license servers. Each node operates independently.
KRAKEND FOR E-GOVERNMENT
Modernize Digital Services. Keep All Data In-House.
Government agencies face a paradox: mandates require digital modernization and interoperability, but operational constraints demand absolute data sovereignty. Cloud-first solutions cannot solve this. Air-gapped environments, legacy systems from decades past, and constant audits require a fundamentally different architecture. KrakenD is built for this reality.

Government agencies and public sector organizations rely on KrakenD to modernize services, ensure interoperability, and maintain complete data sovereignty.
Compliant by Design
Data Cannot Leave Your Infrastructure. Period.
For many government agencies, data sovereignty is not a preference. It is a legal requirement. Classified environments, citizen data protection laws, and national security considerations mean that any component making external calls is unacceptable.
Control-Plane Free
Unlike other API gateway’s in a SAS model that still requires control plane connectivity, KrakenD has no control plane at all. Deploy in air-gapped networks with complete confidence.
No Hidden Data Flows
There are no background processes, analytics, or monitoring agents transmitting information outside your systems. What happens inside your infrastructure stays there, by architecture, not by configuration.
From legacy to Modern APIs
Modernization Mandates vs. 20-Year-Old Systems
Directives like the 21st Century IDEA Act, national digitalization strategies, and interoperability requirements demand modern APIs. But government systems are not modern. They are SOAP services, mainframe interfaces, and proprietary protocols built over decades.
KrakenD transforms legacy systems into modern APIs without rewrites. Convert SOAP to REST declaratively. Aggregate data from multiple departmental backends into unified responses. Bridge incompatible technologies through a single gateway layer.
The MCP Server takes this further: expose any legacy system as an AI-ready tool. Your 30-year-old mainframe becomes accessible to modern AI workflows without backend modifications. No competitor offers this capability productized.
API Governance for e-Government
Solving the Real Problems of Public Sector Digital Transformation
KrakenD provides architectural solutions to the specific challenges government agencies face: data sovereignty, legacy modernization, inter-departmental interoperability, constant audits, and limited IT resources.
100% Air-Gap Compatible
Many agencies operate in environments where external connectivity is prohibited. KrakenD requires nothing external.
No control plane, no license servers, no telemetry. Offline license validation works without network. Deploy on bare metal, VMs, Kubernetes, or OpenShift entirely within your perimeter.
Minimal Audit Surface
FedRAMP, ISO 27001, ENS, BSI. Every infrastructure component adds audit burden. Documentation, access controls, change management.
KrakenD has no database to document, no control plane to secure. Configuration lives in Git with automatic audit trails. SOC 2 Type II certified.
AI-Ready Legacy Modernization
AI mandates are accelerating but legacy systems cannot be rewritten overnight. KrakenD's MCP Server is unique in the market.
Expose any legacy system as a tool AI agents can consume. Natural language access to decades-old databases. Secure, policy-controlled AI access paths without backend modifications.
Zero-Trust Security by Architecture
Security is not a feature toggle. KrakenD stores no data, supports hardened defaults, and is a CVE Numbering Authority.
Every request verified through mTLS, OAuth2, OIDC, or JWT. Strict request/response validation blocks malformed traffic. Proactive vulnerability disclosure, not reactive fixes.
KrakenD for e-Government
Why choose KrakenD
for e-government?
Self-hosted, no-data
Run on-premise on bare metal, VMs, Kubernetes, or OpenShift. No callbacks, no telemetry, no license servers. Ideal for air-gapped and classified environments where cloud-first vendors cannot operate.
Compliance-Ready Architecture
Stateless by design, SOC 2 Type II certified. Minimal audit surface with configuration in Git providing automatic audit trails. No databases or control planes to document and secure.
Legacy modernization without rewrites
Transform SOAP to REST declaratively. Aggregate departmental backends. Expose legacy systems to AI agents through MCP Server. Modernize incrementally without touching backend code.
Inter-department interoperability
Aggregate, transform, and normalize data from incompatible departmental technologies. Single API endpoints that combine multiple backends without custom integration projects.
Operational simplicity for small teams
No database to maintain, no cluster coordination. Deploy with existing CI/CD. One less system for understaffed IT teams to patch, backup, and monitor.
Reliable premium support
Provided by the same engineers developing KrakenD. Direct access to expertise, not ticket queues or escalation paths.
