Kong API Gateway
What do you like best about the product?
The great aspect approximately Kong API Gateway which I like is its robust and characteristic-rich nature. It presents a centralized platform for handling APIs and microservices. Apart from it Kong API gives diverse protection features to protect your APIs and make sure the security and integrity of your API surroundings.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing I dislike about Kong API Gateway is predicated on external services, consisting of databases, caching systems, and load balancers. If any of those dependencies revel in troubles or downtime, it may impact the availability and functionality of the gateway.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The most Important issue that Kong API gateway fixing for me is that it have a big network that you could use to grow. It's open supply making itself a huge network. Scaling plays a primary position as we want to it while visitors is excessive or when the community is congested Kong is the solution for this use it, if we're facing trouble with scalling.

Kong API Gateway Review for API aggregation
What do you like best about the product?
Kong API Gateway is excellent for docker-based microservices. I used it quite a time and was very impressed by it. It is easy to use and it is super fast in terms of performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
But API aggregation is lacking as we have to implement the extra layer to get that. The extra layer may be microservice and serverless , but no build-in support is there
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I mostly use microservices (docker containers), so kong is a really good option as an API Gateway. it's support for docker is really good and easy. that is why I use cong for projects.

The first thing of Kong API that ilI like the Most is it's popularity among the World. Can be used in both Hybrid and Multi cloud, it's well optimised for Microservices.

It's Open Source the most Important thing.

The part that I don't like of Kong API gateway is we need more Integration with Kubernetes. Need more Medium post on Kong API gateways. Some times issue with connection it's get refused sometimes

KONG API gateway came so handy and surprised us with tons of external plugins

Kong was the best open-source api gateway due to its simplicity. It's effortless to use and easy to integrate into your system. with multiple plugins you'll find yourself wanting to use to keep your APIs optimized

So far nothing, just wished the kong manager GUI was free
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing the team with a central gateway that all the team can use. Saves time by not reinventing the wheel. Provides access and tracking with management using the plugins. Also helped in creating alerts when one of the APIs fail by using the grafana and Prometheus dashboard
