      The KrakenD Service API exposes built-in operational endpoints on a running KrakenD gateway instance. It includes
      the health check endpoint at /__health (enabled by default), the debug endpoint at /__debug (enabled via
      configuration), and the extended metrics endpoint at /__stats for detailed runtime telemetry. These endpoints are
      used for monitoring, debugging, and health checking KrakenD deployments.

    description: >-
      The KrakenD Async Agent enables event-driven API consumption by connecting KrakenD to message brokers and event
      queues such as AMQP, Kafka, and NATS. It allows KrakenD to consume messages from topics and queues and forward
      them to backend services without requiring an inbound HTTP request from a client.
