KrakenD vs ToolJet
A side-by-side editorial comparison of KrakenD and ToolJet — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
KrakenD vs ToolJet: at a glance
What is KrakenD?
KrakenD's community edition is shipping only dependency bumps.
The two tracked KrakenD releases are patch releases of the community edition. 2.13.10 in August moved to Go 1.26.7, and 2.13.11 in September bumped the gRPC and RabbitMQ client libraries.
What is ToolJet?
ToolJet tags 3.21 as LTS, carrying the beta line's widget and token work to stable.
ToolJet runs an LTS track and a faster beta track. 3.20 LTS releases changed first-run onboarding to an auto-started trial and AI prompt and locked released versions against API edits. On November 13 the 3.21 line got its first LTS tag, v3.21.96-lts, which brings the beta's pagination events, workspace-wide token revocation, progress-widget bindings and widget stability fixes to stable installs along with the 3.20 LTS changes.

KrakenD
0.0INFRA · APIS
KrakenD's community edition is shipping only dependency bumps.
◆ Current state
The two tracked KrakenD releases are patch releases of the community edition. 2.13.10 in August moved to Go 1.26.7, and 2.13.11 in September bumped the gRPC and RabbitMQ client libraries.
◆ Where it's heading
The open-source gateway is in maintenance mode in this feed, kept current on Go and dependencies. Two entries are too few to say where the product is heading.
◆ Prediction
Unclear from these entries; more dependency patch releases are the only pattern visible.
ToolJet
5.0INFRA · APIS
ToolJet tags 3.21 as LTS, carrying the beta line's widget and token work to stable.
◆ Current state
ToolJet runs an LTS track and a faster beta track. 3.20 LTS releases changed first-run onboarding to an auto-started trial and AI prompt and locked released versions against API edits. On November 13 the 3.21 line got its first LTS tag, v3.21.96-lts, which brings the beta's pagination events, workspace-wide token revocation, progress-widget bindings and widget stability fixes to stable installs along with the 3.20 LTS changes.
◆ Where it's heading
The 3.21 line is graduating from beta to LTS after weeks of security scoping, database-pool fixes and widget stability drops. Stable users now get the same admin controls the beta shipped, which narrows the gap between the two tracks.
◆ Prediction
Expect 3.20 LTS releases to taper while 3.21 LTS patches carry fixes, and a 3.22 beta line to open for the next AI Builder work.
