What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to publish our REST APIs to our partners and later utilize same APIs to be consumed for our mobile products. So we need to implant an API gateway which helps us to stream line our APIs development to deployment process.
With kong we can avoid writing lot of similar code on each API, like rate limiting and logging.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Must consider evaluating its available UIs or admin interfaces before going live. Since in live environment, you can't actually go to your notes and look for curl commands.
