Dakia is a powerful and flexible API Gateway designed for modern web applications.
- Fully Programmable: Tailor the API Gateway to your specific needs with custom plugins and middleware in multiple languages.
- Configurable: Easily manage API configurations using various formats like YAML, JSON, and HTTP API calls.
- Extensible: Add new functionality with support for custom middleware and plugins, written in any programming language (Rust, Java, C++, etc.).
- Zero Downtime Upgrades: Perform upgrades and restarts without affecting the availability of your services.
- Dynamic Middleware: Add, remove, or modify middleware on the fly without disrupting service.
- Request and Response Management: Modify requests before they reach the upstream or read/write responses to meet your application's needs.
- Real-Time Configuration: Modify your gateway configuration in real time with no downtime, using HTTP API calls.
Dakia ensures your services stay performant, reliable, and highly customizable, giving you full control.
