I find Kong is perfect as an API Gateway and is compatible with many platforms. It is my go-to for both API Gateway, and ingress, for my Kubernetes clusters.

My list of dislikes is quite small. However, some plugins are only available on an enterprise license which can be a little annoying if you're trying to utilize those features.

I'm using Kong API Gateway in all my Kubernetes clusters as an API gateway, as it helps with securing inbound API's prior to them reaching your application.

One of the best API gateway

  • May 10, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the available support and features currently they are offering, one of the best things I like is the available plugins and the option to create your plugin so technically you are not missing anything and you have complete control to API.
The data transformation feature is also very useful and gives you the flexibility to connect/use any type of data source.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of training and industry-standard examples are missing or difficult to navigate. You can't use plugins in the free version. Tooling is missing, I think Kong should launch Kong Developer Studio or similar kind of IDE.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
API mashup is one of my use cases, where I can call multiple APIs within one API and achieve process and behaviour enrichment. Data transformation feature plugin availability is a very nice feature to achieve my goal.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Worth to try
