I was breaking down what the API management solution Kong delivers for a customer of mine, and I figured I’d take what I shared via the team portal, and publish it here on the blog. It is an easy way for me to create content, and make my consulting work more transparent. I am using Kong as part of several healthcare and financial projects currently, and I am actively employing it to ensure customers are properly managing their APIs. I wasn’t the decision maker on any of these projects when it came to choosing the API management layer, I am just the person who is helping standardize how they are using API services and tooling across the API lifecycle for these projects.
First, Kong is an open source API management solution with an easy to install community edition, and enterprise level support when needed. They provide an admin interface, and developer portal for the API management proxy, but there is also a growing number of community editions like KongDash, and Konga emerging to make it a much richer ecosystem. And of course, Kong has an API for managing the API management layer, as every API service and tooling provider should have. https://goo.gl/qdM6Xf #DataIntegration #ML
