Analytics are on-point but it could be more comprehensive, else everything looks great.

Kong API Gateway: A Review of Its Features and Benefits
What do you like best about the product?
There are many things I like about Kong API Gateway, but here are a few of my favorites:
Performance and scalability: Kong is built on top of NGINX, which makes it extremely fast and scalable. It can handle millions of requests per second with ease.
Flexibility: Kong is highly extensible through plugins. This means that you can add new features and functionality to Kong to meet your specific needs.
Open source: Kong is an open source project, which means that it is free to use and modify. This also means that there is a large community of users and contributors who can help you if you have any problems.
Cloud native: Kong is cloud native, which means that it is easy to deploy and manage in the cloud. It also supports a wide range of cloud providers, such as AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Its support for multiple protocols: Kong supports a wide range of protocols, including REST, gRPC, WebSockets, and GraphQL. This makes it a good choice for managing APIs of all types.
Its extensive plugin library: Kong has a large and growing library of plugins. There are plugins for everything from authentication and authorization to rate limiting and caching.

What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of native support for API generation: Kong does not offer native functionality to generate APIs automatically. This can be a significant issue if you cannot
import your desired API, which is a reason why Kong may not be right for you.
Steep learning curve for advanced features: While Kong is relatively easy to learn and use for basic tasks, the learning curve for more advanced features, such as plugins and custom routing, can be quite steep.
Limited support for certain technologies: Kong does not offer native support for certain technologies, such as GraphQL and gRPC. While there are plugins available for these technologies, they may not be as robust as native support.
Community support can be inconsistent: The Kong community is generally helpful and supportive, but the level of support can be inconsistent. Sometimes it can take a while to get a response to a question or issue.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Routing and load balancing: Kong can route traffic to the appropriate backend services and load balance traffic across multiple instances of backend services. This can improve performance, reliability, and scalability.
Authentication and authorization: Kong can authenticate and authorize users to access specific APIs and resources. This can help to protect your APIs from unauthorized access.
Rate limiting: Kong can limit the number of requests that a user can make to an API within a given period of time. This can help to prevent abuse and protect your APIs from being overloaded.
Caching: Kong can cache responses from your APIs to improve performance and reduce the load on your backend servers.
Logging and monitoring: Kong can log and monitor requests and responses to identify and troubleshoot problems.
