CE feature parity

CE covers the vast majority of BFF patterns. Enterprise adds telemetry, hot-reload of the gateway config, the visual designer, and commercial support.

Per-CPU sticker shock avoidance

Buyers report wide variance in Enterprise per-CPU quotes. Pull a written quote with explicit CPU counts and renewal-uplift clauses before committing.

Recent change

KrakenD continues to keep the Enterprise per-CPU rate behind a sales contact. CE feature parity for BFF use cases is high.

Editor's note

Strong fit for mobile-BFF workloads. We will not infer the Enterprise per-CPU list price.
