🔧 Configuration
Endpoint Configuration: Define how your gateway routes requests to backend services. Each endpoint maps a gateway path to one or more backend services.
🚀 Quick Setup Guide
1️⃣ Start the Gateway
docker-compose up -d
This starts both KrakenD gateway and the management interface.
2️⃣ Access Management
Open the web interface to configure your gateway:
🔐 Default Login Credentials:
admin / krakend123 (Administrator)

demo / demo123 (Demo User)
Update in
admin / krakend123 (Administrator)
user / password123 (Standard User)
demo / demo123 (Demo User)
Update in
management/app.py before production
3️⃣ Configure Endpoints
Add your first API endpoint using the form above or the web interface.
4️⃣ Test Your Setup
Note: Make sure your backend services are running and accessible before configuring endpoints.
