Powerful and Scalable API Gateway with Great Extensibility
What do you like best about the product?
Kong’s high scalability, lightweight architecture, and extensive plugin support make it an excellent choice for managing APIs efficiently.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve can be steep for beginners, and debugging custom plugins (especially in Lua) can be challenging. The enterprise version is expensive, which might not be ideal for small teams or startups.

Kong API Gateway helps in securing, managing, and scaling APIs efficiently. It simplifies authentication, traffic control, and monitoring, reducing the need for custom-built solutions. The plugin-based architecture allows easy extension of functionalities, improving developer productivity and API performance.
Kong Capabilites - Flexibilities of using Kong and Benefits that are provided with Kong
What do you like best about the product?
Kong API Gateway makes life easier will all the existing capabilities that it provides through its user interface for Configuring Services, routes along with handling SSH requirements through Kong itself. It also helps in having a constant access to client servers that are on SSH but needs to be accessed while developing solutions to integrate with the apis where the ips are not static. This is one case that we use kong regularly for. I like the Request Transformation and Response Transformation feature of Kong the most. Its real pain doing that with other API Gateway solutions. If we go with native way of handling Request or Response transformations with Spring Cloud API Gateway etc.. we end with many issues that takes hell a lot of time to fix but with Kong it doesn't need to be deployed every time and with a save everything gets updated and fixing it is also gets easier and requires less effort. Also the logs of kong are also pretty much descriptive about the errors that we face in the Request routing failures, request tracking, identify the reason for failures etc..
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently I dont have any dislikes regarding Kong API Gateway and I have worked with Community and Enterprise versions and never found any issues using it. It makes our life simple. I have recommended it at many places wherever there was a need to introduce API Gateway solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Kong API Gateway solved problems integrating with client apis by acting as a proxy to the development machines where kong was deployed on a development server where the access to client apis is only available to development server instead of developer machines. Using kong we resolved the issue of accessing urls on developer machines for easy integration and unit testing purposes. Also handling and managing client certificates becomes much more simpler with Kong rather than having them on the Microservice level. This also resolves the need of having different urls for different clients where there is only a single api exposed for all the clients on the microservice level. Also transforming request payloads and response payloads is a great use case as per me as this has resolved many such cases we had to handle custom request and response payload requirements for different clients.

usage experience with kong api gateway
What do you like best about the product?
Coming from a security engineer we can add custom logic in the form of kong gateway plugin. it's extensible to a decent scale
What do you dislike about the product?
i found it difficult to implement on a personal research level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Plugins are defined in Lua, although a popular language however it isn't widely accepted and is on declining trends. It should be revamped to languages like Pyhthon, JS, C++, Java, Go etc.
