Kong API Gateway Review for API aggregation
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.
