2 min read Original article ↗

Free Forever · STARTER

Stop hand-writing SOAP-to-REST wrappers.
Run a real gateway — free, in your own VPC.

1 gateway, 1,000 requests/day, contract drift detection included. No credit card. No sales call.

Download Free

Takes about 5 minutes. Docker & Docker Compose required — no Kafka, nothing else to install.

🔒 Runs entirely in your own VPC — we never see your traffic or WSDL.

What's included

  • 1 gateway configuration
  • 1,000 translations / day
  • REST → SOAP and SOAP → REST
  • Contract drift detection
  • AI tool support (MCP) — Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf
  • WS-Security (UsernameToken, X.509, SAML)
  • MTOM binary attachments
  • Multiple gateways

Community support only — no SLA. Paid tiers include defined support commitments.

Prerequisites

  • Docker & Docker Compose — that's it. No Kafka, no separate PostgreSQL or Redis install; both are bundled in the compose file.
  • A machine with at least 2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM — your own VPC, on-prem server, or a dev laptop.

How it works

1

Download and unzip

Get the Docker Compose file, an .env template, and your free STARTER license file.

2

Fill in your .env

Copy env.client.example to .env and set a DB password, a Redis password, and two generated secrets: openssl rand -hex 32 for the admin API key, openssl rand -base64 32 for the encryption key.

3

Run docker compose up -d, then register your first WSDL

PostgreSQL and Redis start alongside the gateway. Once it's up, POST /api/v1/gateways and start translating REST↔SOAP.
