Kong Konnect is designed to support modern application architectures with its Hybrid Mode, facilitating the transformation of monolithic applications into microservices across multiple platforms. It achieves this by splitting its API gateway into two sublayers: the Control Plane (CP), responsible for administrative tasks, and the Data Plane (DP), which manages API exposure and adapts to dynamic environments. This approach supports hybrid deployments, allowing companies to run applications on multiple platforms simultaneously. The integration with AWS services, such as ElastiCache, Cognito, and OpenSearch, enhances the scalability and flexibility of Kong Konnect deployments. Automation of the Data Plane life cycle is crucial, with options like AWS CloudFormation and AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) offering Infrastructure as Code capabilities to streamline deployments. The CDK introduces a higher abstraction level, allowing developers to define reusable components using programming languages, which are then synthesized into CloudFormation templates for resource provisioning. This method provides a robust framework for managing dynamic and diverse API ecosystems, with additional tools like AWS Certificate Manager and AWS Secrets Manager enhancing security and license management.
