Build a lean KrakenJS micro‑service by leveraging its module isolation, lazy loading, and routing. This guide details requirements, a minimal architecture, trust boundaries, operational checks, and failure modes that may force a redesign.
Learn how KrakenJS automatically loads middleware from the middleware directory, reducing boilerplate and ensuring predictable ordering, with a practical rate‑limiting example.
Decide between layered config files, process.env, or an external secrets manager for KrakenJS, with a boot-time validation pattern that keeps one artifact deployable and secrets out of version control.
Learn how KrakenJS layers base and environment‑specific config files to provide predictable, twelve‑factor‑compliant settings across deployments.
A fresh Express server ships with almost no security headers. KrakenJS's Helmet middleware fixes that with one line — here's what it sets, how to tune the CSP per route, and where it falls short.
Learn how to use Kraken.js convention-based routing to eliminate manual route registration and organize API endpoints using the services directory pattern.
How Kraken.js maps URLs to controller modules via the `routes` config, with a working example, the silent-failure pitfalls, and how to verify routes actually registered.
Kraken.js replaces Express's implicit app.use() ordering with a declarative, priority-driven middleware pipeline in JSON. Covers meddleware mechanics, a full config example, environment toggles, and common ordering mistakes.
KrakenJS moved Express middleware and route wiring into JSON config, enabling environment-specific behavior without code changes. The pattern is excellent; the framework is unmaintained.
