Kong Gateway:fast and flexible
What do you like best about the product?
We use Kong Gateway for its flexibility and ease of integration. One of the best features of Kong Gateway is that it is a powerful plugin architecture that allows us to easily add different features like security, logging, etc. Also, the ease of scaling is another feature I like. It can be installed across multiple nodes and clusters. Its performance under heavy traffic is authentic.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not many points to dislike, but one of the challenges we face is that the new users sometimes may feel overwhelmed by the complex configurations and wide range of plugins that are provided.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Kong Gateway addresses many crucial problems in our API management. One of the major challenges that we face is efficiently routing and managing API traffic across multiple services. Kong gives us a centralized medium to manage, source, and monitor API calls with ease. Secondly, Kong also ensures consistent security by providing a built-in plugin. This safeguards us from unauthorized access and potential attacks.
