Looking back on 2025
4.75 million invoked operations, over 5,000 monthly active users and 3 releases. These are some key facts about the past year.
What happened in 2025?
The Kreya's UI was reworked in the first release 1.16.0 of 2025, with a fresh new look being given to the project settings. We also introduced cookie management and added WebSocket support.
Another release 1.17.0 in April added the new Kreya Script, which allows you to control operation invocation with JavaScript. Support has also been added for importing HAR files and the JWT authentication provider, as well as for exporting operations as cURL and gRPC commands.
The last release 1.18.0 of the year 2025 introduced powerful new features for visualising and validating your API workflows: Data Previews and Snapshot Tests.
Monthly active users
At the end of 2025, we had more than 5,000 monthly active users, which was a +7.2% increase compared to the previous year. As we haven't done much to attract new users, we're pleased that we've managed to increase our monthly active users again this year, even if only slightly.
It is important to note that we only collect minimal anonymous telemetry data and this is completely transparent in the documentation. We appreciate every user who does not deactivate telemetry.
| Year | Monthly active users |
|---|---|
| 2025 | 5,067 (+7.2%)* |
| 2024 | 4,727 (+21.1%)* |
| 2023 | 3,902 (+35.9%)* |
| 2022 | 2,871 (+89.3%)* |
| 2021 | 1,517 |
*The percentage numbers refer to the change compared to the previous year.
Invoked operations
Even greater growth was achieved this year in the category of invoked operations. With more than 4.75 million operations invoked, there was an increase of +18.5% compared to 2024. This shows that our users are using Kreya more frequently than in the previous year.
| Year | Invoked operations |
|---|---|
| 2025 | 4.75M (+18.5%)* |
| 2024 | 4.01M (+39.2%)* |
| 2023 | 2.88M (+44.7%)* |
| 2022 | 1.99M |
*The percentage numbers refer to the change compared to the previous year.
REST is still increasing
As with last year, there is increased interest in REST operations compared to gRPC. It's "only" about 10 percent, but we want to improve Kreya for REST operations even more and focus on them. Our goal is to develop a comprehensive API client, not just a gRPC one. This will keep us busy in the coming years.
| Year | Percentage of invoked REST operations |
|---|---|
| 2025 | 9.97% |
| 2024 | 6.93% |
| 2023 | 3.36% |
| 2022 | 0.77% |
What's next?
As mentioned above, we also want to focus on operation types other than gRPC. We implemented REST years ago and WebSockets this year.
The next release will be available in a few weeks and will support GraphQL.
If you can't wait to try it out, you can use it now in the beta release channel. In the Kreya application menu, go to Kreya > About and choose the Beta release channel. Then, hit check for updates.
Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all users for using Kreya, giving us feedback and helping us to keep developing an awesome product. As always, do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected] with any requests, feedback or just to say hello.
Good luck in the new year and stay tuned. 👋
