I use Kong Konnect most often as a current gateway. A specific example of how I use Kong Konnect as a current gateway involves onboarding microservices into Kong Konnect where we pass the host map pattern and pass the endpoint in the route path. This is how we are configuring our setup.

Gateway has secured our APIs and provides low latency with detailed logs and tracing
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The best features Kong Konnect offers include security, scalability, and latency, which is the most important to me.
Security, scalability, and load handling are so valuable for me because we have multiple built-in plugins such as open authentication, authentication, OpenID, and basic authentication.
Our features, such as being able to see all the logs and traces by integrating with multiple third-party applications including Jaeger, are worth mentioning.
Kong Konnect has positively impacted our organization by securing our APIs, which is one of the main concerns for us. Securing our APIs has benefited our organization by improving compliance and reducing incidents.
