The Lura Project, the open source framework formerly known as KrakenD, has joined the Linux Foundation where, according to a press statement, “it will be the only enterprise-grade API Gateway hosted in a neutral, open forum.” We are true believers of open source and we believe that open source is where this project belongs,” said Lombarte.

The KrakenD API Gateway is built on top of what is now known as the Lura Project, and Lombarte explained that KrakenD is an opinionated implementation, in that it focuses on speed over other functionalities.

In just 20 to 30 lines of code, you can have an API gateway up and running using Lura, he said.

Following the donation of Lura to the Linux Foundation, Lombarte said that Lura 2.0 is expected to be released in the near future, with GraphQL support and the ability to further extend the project with custom plug-ins as new features on the roadmap.
