About Kong
Kong is an open-source API gateway and platform that sits in front of your APIs to manage traffic, authentication, and other cross-cutting concerns.
Kong proxies API requests and lets you apply plugins for authentication, rate limiting, logging, and traffic control without changing your upstream services. It is aimed at developers and platform teams who need a centralized layer to manage, secure, and observe APIs at scale.
