I appreciate Kong Gateway for providing better visibility into APIs and upstream services. The Kong Proxy performs way better than other alternatives like NGINX Proxy. I particularly like the 'Plugin first' approach since the plugins in Kong are modular like legos, making tasks like rate limiting or blacklisting certain APIs much easier without having to write lots of code. The built-in, out-of-the-box plugins reduce latency effectively. The setup process is super easy, thanks to the right scripts and developer documentation available, making installation and setup straightforward.

I like Kong Gateway because it's easy to install and set up, which speeds up our go-to-market process. I find the flexibility of Kong Gateway to be wonderful and a game changer. The initial setup was really smooth, thanks to developer.konghq.com.

It handles high traffic loads efficiently and has saved us time and efforts.
