Kong has announced the release of Kong Manager Open Source, a user interface designed for managing Kong Gateway OSS, which caters to the demand for a more visual and intuitive experience among technically adept users. This feature, previously available only in Kong Enterprise, aims to complement existing tools like decK by providing a visual interface for managing configurations, enabling users to perform tasks with ease and flexibility. Kong Manager Open Source supports various user preferences by allowing configuration changes to be managed visually while still facilitating tracking through Git with decK. It encourages experimentation by enabling users to revert to previous configurations if needed, offering a versatile suite of tools that work together to enhance the functionality and user experience of managing Kong Gateway configurations.
