Performance and Scaleability

  • June 04, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It can handle large number of Transactions per second which makes it suitable for high throughput requirement applications.

Since it's built on nginx it can be disturbed achieving horizontal scaling is very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though it's powerful, Kong can be complex for initial setup specially for users who lack infra knowledge or API gateways knowledge
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In IDFC our infra is baed on Mule where gateway is embeded with runtime. So, IDFC is paying high price even for proxy which doesn't require emebeded runtime. Having kong saves cost for the company and also avoid single point of failue if any of the Dependable Mule Service goes down.

Kong discourages modern microservice architecture, outrageously priced

  • June 03, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Built on OpenResty, with straightforward Kubernetes resource definition of routes. The documentation was good as well, and there are free plugins and an open source variant of Kong to get you locked in before you realize the need to switch to another provider.
What do you dislike about the product?
They are dropping their support for Alpine-based images, and their Ubuntu base image brings about too large an attack surface. So you have to build Kong yourself, but the Enterprise Gateway product adds closed source modifications so it's impossible to get a secure build. Also, you have to go with enterprise for FIPS, which is reasonable if it wasn't prohibitively priced. They charge for every separate microservice TIMES every environment, including QA or trial environments. Basically, this makes them implicitly discourage companies from decoupling their enterprise application into separate services.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reverse proxy with path-based routing. Self-hostable without request or response size or latency restrictions. Extensible for custom logic. Controllable with Kubernetes resources.

Portabie, scalable and open source with easy to use interface and implement in a microservice based architecture. We have been using it for a year without any problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Kong API documentation is quite difficult to understand and more user friendly tutorials or documentation could be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
HA Routing and security for micro-services.
