API Fortress is a continuous testing platform that utilizes Kong to facilitate API virtualization, a crucial component in the growing API economy driven by microservice architectures and DevOps practices. As companies strive for faster innovation through Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD), automated testing, including API mocking, becomes essential. API Fortress addresses this need by enabling early test development, cost savings on paid API calls, and efficient bug detection through mocking. The platform simplifies mocking by allowing users to easily create mocks from live API calls, with Kong intercepting and capturing API payloads to automate this process. The setup involves configuring Kong as a proxy server, creating proxied endpoints, and utilizing API Fortress's mocking capabilities. This integration with Kong allows users to record and query mock APIs effectively, enhancing development workflows and software quality. API Fortress offers a 30-day trial for its on-premises version, demonstrating the synergy with Kong and participation in its community.
