API Gateway

[Jugaadi Da <bi...@gmail.com>]

Team,

I was wondering whether you have considered integrating with Kong as API
gateway for Openwhisk. The experimental project(Openwhisk API gateway) for
the same purpose is created along the same architecture as Kong. Kong being
a mature project and with support for excellent middleware functionalities
and clustering capabilities, would be a good candidate for this job. The
3rd party  plugins ecosystem is also highly beneficial. Do let me know your
thoughts on this.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Jugaadi,
This is a good idea. There is already a Kong Plugin for OpenWhisk - [1];
it's limited in functionality when compared with the current Openwhisk
Gateway - [2] . But the community could enhance the Kong plugin and it can
be used by people who are already familiar with Kong. The current design in
Openwhisk supports this "bring your own gateway" concept.

Thanks,
Dragos
