Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's easy to use and is a great product.
Cloud-native, easily usable and flexible API Gateway solution
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to get started with Kong API Gateway, as there's no high learning curve. You're able to download, install and deploy the first API in a maximum of 10 minutes. I also like the Open Source mentality and the clear vision of where things are going.
In addition, Kong API Gateway provides great flexibility concerning the deployment architecture, since it is independent of a certain platform or architecture. Kong API Gateway can be deployed in a Standalone mode on a variety of Linux machines (Bare metal or Virtual machines), as Ingress Controller to a Kubernetes Cluster or in a hybrid model, separating Control and Data Planes, where the Data Plane nodes can be deployed to any Cloud or even on-Premises. This flexibility differentiates Kong API Gateway and makes it an option in a broad variety of use cases. Furthermore, the Gateway can - depending on the use case - run with a minimal resource footprint and delivers stable and high performance.
One last thing to mention concerning the development philosophy of Kong: Since everything in Kong is an API, the Gateway can be seamlessly integrated, e.g. in existing CI/CD Pipelines for automating the overall API lifecycle, which makes API delivery extremely efficient.

What do you dislike about the product?
There aren't things I don't like about Kong API Gateway.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I believe that the world is hybrid. Shortly it’ll become hybrid and Multi-Cloud. Modern software architectures must be designed accordingly to allow seamless integration and extensibility. In addition, we must not forget that we usually need to integrate the “Before-Cloud” world. I use Kong technologies to deal with the respective challenges concerning API exposure both internally, between different business domains, or even externally, to collaborate with partners and customers.
One main benefit of using Kong is that a Kong-based API Platform can be easily extended and evolved both from an architectural (e.g. extend to hybrid or Multi-Cloud use cases) as well as from a functional perspective (Custom plugins, etc.). This makes Kong API Gateway an essential technical component in every modern architecture, which can be also used independently of a certain architectural approach (Monolith, Microservices, Serverless), because of its deployment flexibility. Especially in modernization projects, this helps us to bridge the gap between the old and mostly monolithic world and the new, shiny Microservices world.
