Gonna be really hard for devs to find tutorials[1] or other related things on this, given the name ( 'Kraken' ) is already a well-established crypto exchange.

Same is the case with 'Discourse'. Almost impossible to find relevant content cos any search for 'discourse + keyword' invariably shows content related to "online discourse (conversation)"

My initial thought was that Kraken had released a Docker registry which was odd.

But now I realise it is a separate project by Uber that is called Kraken.

But as it is a project I am okay with the name clash. It kind of suits the distributed nature of its arms.

I know there will be some confusion but hopefully, people's google-fu and search terms will be able to distinguish from Kraken the cryptocurrency company, Kraken the docker registery tool and Kraken the mythical mega octopus, and more.


It also used to be a pretty popular Node.js express suite

"kraken docker uber" brings up the homepage as a first hit.


Not to mention Krakend being an open source API Gateway
