Kong API Gateway

  • May 23, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The great aspect approximately Kong API Gateway which I like is its robust and characteristic-rich nature. It presents a centralized platform for handling APIs and microservices. Apart from it Kong API gives diverse protection features to protect your APIs and make sure the security and integrity of your API surroundings.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing I dislike about Kong API Gateway is predicated on external services, consisting of databases, caching systems, and load balancers. If any of those dependencies revel in troubles or downtime, it may impact the availability and functionality of the gateway.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The most Important issue that Kong API gateway fixing for me is that it have a big network that you could use to grow. It's open supply making itself a huge network. Scaling plays a primary position as we want to it while visitors is excessive or when the community is congested Kong is the solution for this use it, if we're facing trouble with scalling.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it as an open-source API gateway for managing my microservices. I also used it for verifying JWT.

Kong API Gateway Review for API aggregation

  • May 20, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Kong API Gateway is excellent for docker-based microservices. I used it quite a time and was very impressed by it. It is easy to use and it is super fast in terms of performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
But API aggregation is lacking as we have to implement the extra layer to get that. The extra layer may be microservice and serverless , but no build-in support is there
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I mostly use microservices (docker containers), so kong is a really good option as an API Gateway. it's support for docker is really good and easy. that is why I use cong for projects.

What do you like best about the product?
The first thing of Kong API that ilI like the Most is it's popularity among the World. Can be used in both Hybrid and Multi cloud, it's well optimised for Microservices. It supports Load Balancing of API that's what the most I like of it. We can do clustering, checking health, monitoring few more things. It can even run in Kubernetes. It's Open Source the most Important thing.
What do you dislike about the product?
The part that I don't like of Kong API gateway is we need more Integration with Kubernetes. Need more Medium post on Kong API gateways. Some times issue with connection it's get refused sometimes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The most Important thing that Kong API gateway solving for me is that it have a large community that you can use to grow. It's open source making itself a large community. Scaling plays a main role as we need to it when traffic is high or when the network is congested Kong is the solution for this use it, if we are facing issue with scalling.
