Case Study: Pearson delivers secure parent app access with KrakenD API Gateway

API Gateway for the Education Sector Parental Control

Pearson, The World’s Learning Company, needed an API gateway solution to support its Parent App, which gives parents access to resources like podcasts, infographics, quizzes, and checklists to help their children’s learning progress. Pearson chose KrakenD as the API Gateway for this use case.

KrakenD sits between end users and Pearson services, aggregating the data needed by the app and handling OAuth with HMAC security, along with minor custom middlewares for the end-user experience. Pearson reported that KrakenD has been running in production since 2018 without a single issue, delivering a stable and reliable solution.
