This is a significant release for Kong. If you are a Kong user - or you just want to give it a try - I welcome any feedback that can help improve Kong.

BP literally sells gas at BP branded gas pumps, that’s pretty consumer in my book.

Kong is a fully fledged Lua/C application running on the LuaJIT VM and leveraging the NIO of Nginx, the same stack that powers the underlying proxy of companies like Cloudflare by the way.

In the US “community care” sounds like a great way of collecting more tax money while ultimately not implementing any program that works. I want politicians to establish the rule of law and create a livable community by implementing a progr

There are two extremes: lock everybody up or let everybody be on the street. Both are wrong, and today the latter is being implemented. We need a balanced solution, but what we have today is not working (as a short walk around San Francisco

By labeling the solution as "community care" you are really not proposing a solution: what are the implementation steps for your solution? We don't need more money, we don't need more programs. We need an implementation

As opposed to letting them commit crimes which in turn will never give them a chance to be less disadvantaged? This reasoning makes no sense. These are people that need help, letting them act unchecked will certainly not provide them with t

This is so true, but why is it politically unpopular? Who would want to defend petty crime instead of condemning it? SF sometimes really makes no sense.

This a hundred times. Why is police in SF so bad at dealing with criminality? I am actually looking for a real answer.

San Francisco's administration is the poster child of corruption and mismanagement. It's a controversial topic because it comes across as a strong and opinionated comment, but decades of failed policies, unaccountability and lies

In the US one of the biggest problems I have experienced is that drivers do not adhere to the international rule of having slow drivers on the right side of the freeway, especially in California. As a result to this there are more lane spli

Most of the Kong adoption is free and comes from the open-source version, which you can download for free [1] and perhaps even contribute to [2]. We support an extensibility framework [3] that the community has been using to extend Kong (mo

What problems did you specifically encounter with the current bundled blacklist plugin?

We have been contributing back to the community with open-source projects and improvements to the other open-source projects we utilize, and using respectfully “other people’s work” in agreement to their licenses. Kong itself is open-source

After a large major release there could be problems in specific use-cases, I would try again with a 1.0.x release or 1.1.x - Kong prouds itself to be very fast, so I would like to get in touch with you to dig down into any problem you ha

At Kong we actually like Envoy a lot, because we can deliver our superset features and ecosystem on top of any underlying proxy (NGINX, Envoy or anything that can process a stream or bytes).

Since Kong 1.0 it can run in both centralized or decentralized mode as a sidecar for Service Mesh. And since v1.1 the database can even be optional. We are executing very fast with the feedback of the community and our customers.

Yes, with DB Import.

Hello, Marco CTO of Kong. You can choose between two modes for Kong now. Kong with database (PostgreSQL or Cassandra) so that the configuration lives in the database and can be propagated automatically across any Kong node that connects to

The point I am making is that no driver would ever want to work for Uber if Uber really was that bad. Turns out, drivers evaluated the pros and cons, and decided that regardless of their current treatment it is still better to be an Uber dr

I keep hearing this argument, but well guess what? Nobody is forcing anybody to become an Uber driver. If Uber treats their contractors so poorly, they are always free to go around and explore other options. We live in a capitalistic societ

There is always a greater goal to achieve that requires more money: 90M to retire? Sure, it’s plenty of money. 90M to do greater and better things? Not so much. Hell, even Bill Gates would gladly take more money that what he already has in

Like everything else, there are pros and cons. It’s not like dynamic languages are worse or better per-se, but they surely make it harder to scale a team or a codebase 10x the original size without introducing what effectively is some sort

Marco from Kong here. At Kong[1] we use Lapis for our control plane API and it's been phenomenal so far. If you have a project in Lua and are considering a web framework, I would definitely recommend Lapis - it's mature enough and

API Gateways back in the days were primarily being adopted at the edge for external traffic, but they are increasingly being used internally to connect teams/products together, or in a Service Mesh deployment pattern for microservices.

Lua doesn’t fit too well with the object oriented model (although possible) without being “hacky”, so we decided to leverage the strengths of the language rather than forcing ourselves to use a model that’s not well suited for the language.

Hello, Marco here (CTO of Kong). Correct, Kong is primarily written in Lua with some bits in C, for two particular reasons: low latency and very high performance. Lua per-se is a fast language (having a very small footprint), but running Lu
