KrakenD AI & API Gateway vs. Lobster Data Platform

KrakenD is the next-generation API Gateway built for high-performance, large-scale environments. Its stateless, database-free architecture enables true linear scalability with minimal infrastructure and no external dependencies. You can deploy KrakenD anywhere, scale without coordination, and operate efficiently using GitOps workflows and declarative configurations. It supports a wide range of protocols and patterns—REST, gRPC, GraphQL, WebSockets, SOAP, Backend For Frontend (BFF), and more—without middleware bloat.

Lobster is a data integration platform for complex, multi-party supply chains. It connects suppliers, partners and systems across EDI, APIs, legacy databases and cloud apps in one place, with 90+ pre-built connectors, 2000+ customers and 20 years of supply chain expertise behind it. Lobster gives teams control over how data flows across their supply chain, so they can build, customise and maintain integrations themselves. Teams can also see, enrich and act on data as it moves across systems and partners, using workflows, exception handling and human input where needed.
