Case Study: Rappi streamlines API management with KrakenD

Rappi standardizes 3,500+ microservices in 1 month with KrakenD

Rappi, a Latin-American SuperApp and large e-commerce platform, faced challenges in standardizing solutions for common problems across its massive microservices architecture and speeding up its development process. The company needed a simple yet powerful API gateway solution beyond a simple router to help manage its heterogenous services, which included JWT validation for all services. Rappi adopted the KrakenD API Gateway to address these challenges.

KrakenD provided Rappi with a reliable and easy-to-configure tool for standardization, which was fully implemented in just one month despite the organizational complexity. The solution involved running over 20 different KrakenD gateways that aggregate access to a vast catalog of services. As a result, KrakenD delivered a reliable API service that has not caused any downtime since its adoption in May 2020, successfully supporting Rappi's massive user base.
