Announcing Kong: a management layer for APIs and Microservices, built on top of OpenResty

marco

Hi everybody,

Happy to announce that the OpenResty ecosystem now also includes Kong, a Microservice and API management layer that has been released publicly for the first time about 3 months ago:

As one of the core maintainers of the project, I have been waiting a little bit before announcing Kong here to make sure we had a pretty good version available with enough Plugins (http://getkong.org/plugins/) ready to use. Although Kong has been publicly released only recently, it has been part of the proprietary infrastructure of Mashape for a while and running in production with over 15,000 APIs and Microservices and serving billions of requests per month.

Kong wouldn't have existed without OpenResty. Yichun (aka agentzh) is doing an amazing job.

Let me know if you have questions, and feel free to open an issue or a PR if you experience any problem.

Congratulations! The upcoming balancer_by_lua feature of ngx_lua will
hopefully help it become even more flexible :)

Thanks!
