Kong API Gateway
The networking building block that transforms simple containerized services into enterprise-grade APIs with routing, security, and observability - no expensive API management platforms required
How Kong Fits in Brenon.Cloud
Core Features
Use Cases
Golang Microservices Gateway
Deploy containerized Golang REST APIs behind Kong. Automatically route /api/users to your user service, /api/orders to order service, with built-in load balancing across multiple container replicas and zero-downtime deployments.
Authentication & Authorization Layer
Kong applies the Authentik OIDC plugin to every API endpoint. Users authenticate once through Authentik, Kong validates JWT tokens, and applies role-based routing - admins access admin APIs, users access public APIs.
AI & Bot API Management
Rate limit AI model APIs, apply different quotas for premium vs free users, and route WhatsApp/Telegram bot webhooks to appropriate n8n workflows. Kong transforms requests and responses, ensuring consistent API contracts.
Getting Started
Kong is your networking Swiss Army knife - it transforms any simple HTTP service into a professional API. Like LEGO Technic beams that connect and strengthen your build, Kong connects your services with enterprise features. Deploy a Golang API container, point Kong to it, add the Authentik plugin, and instantly have a secure, rate-limited, monitored API. See the magic in action.
