Case Study: Perx streamlines secure API management with KrakenD API Gateway

Digital Services for the World's Leading Car Manufacturers and Dealer Networks

Perx is a software company building *Hoop*, a data management platform for automotive manufacturers and dealer networks. Their challenge was managing extensive internal and external communication across microservices, REST APIs, and asynchronous NATS channels while supporting secure access and custom authorization.

KrakenD API Gateway was implemented to control traffic between external clients and services, aggregate microservice responses into a single API, and support OAuth-based security. With KrakenD’s extensible plugins and design, Perx also embedded custom authorization logic directly into the gateway, simplifying microservices development and strengthening the platform’s API management.
