## Reviews

### "Open source API Gateway that simplifies interaction between micro-services" — 5.0/5

> **Ashish** | *March 30, 2018* | Computer Software
> 
> **Pros**: Kong is a scalable and open source API Layer. It runs in front of any Restful Web services. Kong is designed to make secure, reliable and modular communicate between client and micro-services. Kong works as reverse proxy of micro-services that provides Authentication, Security, traffic control, Analytics \& Monitoring and Transformations of request and responses.  Kong has a great technical support team that replies very quickly.
> 
> **Cons**: There is nothing i dislike about Kong but I think user interface to define API gateway should be there.
