Decent API Management platform
What do you like best about the product?
Kong Gateway provides various options to configure and run in customer-hosted infrastructure. Kong also provides a lot of ready-to-use artefacts to install and configure the Kong gateway with a few steps. It out of the box offers a lot of plugins (policies) to govern the APIs and also provides the capability to develop our own custom plugins.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Kong community is still evolving and there is little help available in the community to discuss issues. The documentation is also limited over the internet. There are only few trainings available in their LMS and there is no support available if something is wrong with the training steps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Kong Gateway in hybrid mode with Kong Mesh in our organisation. We are using Kong Mesh for our microservices and this allows us to efficiently communicate with other services without leaving the Mesh network. We use Kong Gateway to govern and protect our API proxies running in Mesh.
