Is Kong Service Mesh open source?

Kong is a highly scalable, fault tolerant, and distributed Service Mesh.

Kong is an open source project and is developed by Red Hat, Inc. It is developed in Go, a new programming language for distributed systems. Kong is based on Kubernetes, the world's leading open source platform for managing containers. Kong provides services that make it easy to integrate Kubernetes with any kind of application. It is a fully featured and fully open source Service Mesh. It is a cloud native Service Mesh. Kong supports Service Mesh API for service discovery, load balancing, traffic management, analytics, monitoring, and more. It also supports Service Mesh Gateway API for protocol selection and load balancing.

To know more about Kong, check out this comprehensive post: What does Kong Service Mesh offer? Kong is developed in Go, a new programming language for distributed systems. Below is a list of what Kong offers: It offers high availability for applications. It provides a self-healing architecture that is built into the platform. It is a cloud native Service Mesh that supports dynamic routing, traffic management, and encryption. It offers a Service Mesh API for service discovery, load balancing, traffic management, analytics, monitoring, and more. It offers a Service Mesh Gateway API for protocol selection and load balancing. Let's get into the installation of Kong and a brief overview of how it works.

What is the alternative to Kong API gateway?

Hi there, just a quick question: ?

It sounds like you are already using HAProxy and you have a good reason for doing that. We at Linkerd use HAProxy and we have written a series of blog posts on our thoughts on what HAProxy does well, as well as things it doesn't do so well (which is a big deal). Here are a few of those blog posts:
Since you're already using HAProxy, this blog post will help you understand how you might be able to configure it to achieve what you want to do. We also wrote a series of blog posts which talk about all of this in depth.

What about Kong Ingress Filter open source?

Kong API Gateway is a simple, lightweight and high-performance in-memory key-value store for API Management. It powers one of the fastest API servers available on the market today.

Kong Ingress Filter is a tool that helps with the deployment of application routing policy to your NGINX web server using Docker. The ingress-filters allows for a highly performant, dynamic environment while being highly resilient with an intelligent caching layer built in.

Both projects appear to have had pretty great success: Is there any kind of compatibility or interoperability between Kong API Gateway and Kong Ingress Filter? Not officially, but most of the projects depend on each other. This can be achieved manually, we have already seen a few approaches.

As seen in this article from the folks over at GitHub.com, they have merged the code into a single repository where there are now 5 modules, representing 6.x and 7.x version of Kong Gateway and Ingress Filter.

In the mean time we also merged them into our own repository, and now these projects only take up around 2,000 lines of code. Which means: If you are looking at migrating existing Kong Gateway and Kong Ingress Filter configurations to the new API Gateway, it should not be very difficult. What do you need to migrate and how much do you get with the upgrade? Kong API Gateway provides all of your features, including API management, authorization, throttling, load balancer, and more. If you don't need the features, the upgrade might require a bit more work than just installing the new release of Kong API Gateway. How are API Gateway and Ingress Filter designed and supported by Kong? API Gateway is designed to run directly on Kong Core server instances, as part of a fully managed API management platform. Kong itself already uses the same mechanism for implementing its native authentication system.

Ingress Filter runs as an individual service (and can be scaled separately) and uses the HTTP Ingress plugin provided by Kong. As you can guess, this means that ingress filtering is handled by another Kubernetes component, and not the actual API Gateway.

There's no need to configure or manage a Load Balancer or other external components that implement routing.
