I don't know Kong very well, but having look at the documentation, feels a little too much like a framework to me. The nice thing about Mesos etc. is that it makes almost no assumptions about what your system is. You pick and mix the functionality you need. For example, Marathon is basically just a process manager. You wire it up the way you want; the application can be anything, from a web server to a one-off script. Kong seems to be "Rails for microservices". Which is probably useful to someone, of course.
