Open source API Gateway that simplifies interaction between micro-services

PROS

Kong is a scalable and open source API Layer. It runs in front of any Restful Web services. Kong is designed to make secure, reliable and modular communicate between client and micro-services. Kong works as reverse proxy of micro-services that provides Authentication, Security, traffic control, Analytics & Monitoring and Transformations of request and responses. Kong has a great technical support team that replies very quickly.

CONS

There is nothing i dislike about Kong but I think user interface to define API gateway should be there.

PROS

We are using kong as our service mesh tool in our kubernetes cluster. It's very functional and stable tool. It's really useful while traffic management is handled by Kong.

CONS

More plugins like grpc can be added into Kong ecosystem.

An OK product that’s more geared for Devs

PROS

Decent interface and options to deploy front end APIs

CONS

Very Dev focused than driving business processes

Reason for choosing Kong Konnect

We chose an alternate over Kong for a number of our customers. While Kong’s decent it’s not very business focused and requires lot of dev focus
