express-gateway VS krakend-ce

Express Gateway: A microservices API Gateway built on Express.js. It's entirely extensible and framework agnostic, delivering robust, scalable solutions in no time.

Next, review deployment complexity such as DB-less versus database-backed deployments. For example, Kong does require running Cassandra or Postgres. Apigee requires Cassandra, Zookeeper, and Postgres to run, while other solutions like Express Gateway and Tyk only require Redis. Apache APISIX uses etcd as its data store, it stores and manages routing-related and plugin-related configurations in etcd in the Data Plane.

This post will show you how to build a policy (middleware) for your express gateway. Before creating a policy, we need to create a plugin.

KrakenD: A high-performance open-source API Gateway. It helps application developers release features quickly by eliminating all the complexities of SOA architectures while offering a unique performance.

This is my first foray into NGINX, and it seems my desired use-case is a bit different/left field. We're attempting to utilize NGINXaaS (Azure PaaS) to act as an API Gateway for some of our on-premise APIs. We were trailing KrakenD prior for this, but are moving toward NGINX as there's a desire to move everything PaaS (where appropriate). Our current KrakenD instance is configured to host a different set of URI than what the backend is configured for, IE:

Check what configuration language (JSON/Yaml) and style (Declarative/Imperative) chosen API Gateway support. It is not so crucial but sometimes you might ask: Does it have a user-friendly GUI and drag&drop easy config option? Some open-source projects like Tyk, Krakend.io, and Apache APISIX have built-in no-code possibly visual editing dashboards. You can even import all your APIs descriptions from a JSON.

KrakenD and Lura https://github.com/krakendio/krakend-ce https://github.com/luraproject/lura

I was trying to look up the license for that project and the repo linked from the footer of their website is https://github.com/krakendio/krakend-ce#readme (Apache 2), but because I just did a web search for krakend there is also https://github.com/luraproject/lura#readme which says it's from the Linux Foundation (also Apache 2)

Is KrakenD some kind of generic term, or does that project just have a complex history?
