It relies on open standards instead of proprietary technology. It doesn't require specialized developers like other platforms. It's the most performant mainstream gateway on the market

From a consulting perspective - there's not a lot of work for partners to do other than a bit of architecture, some custom plugins, and devops work. Customers that leverage the developer portal may have customizations there, but it's so easy to use.

It's solving the need for high performance API traffic management and creating an open and flexible architecture.

What do you like best about the product?
Its performance. It's a super lightweight gateway built on top of nginx that's optimized for low latency and high throughput use cases. It can handle hundreds or even thousands of concurrent requests, depending on your infra.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much, but I would say that for many plugins it lacks more documentation with samples.

Exposing Open Banking and Banking as a Services APIs. The time to market is not dependent on Kong, since it's quite simple to define and deploy new APIs on Kong.
