Kong API Gateway on Kubernetes with Pulumi

In the modern microservices landscape, deploying services efficiently requires a strategic approach involving infrastructure orchestration, application deployment, and service publishing. This detailed guide demonstrates using Kubernetes-in-Docker (Kind) for infrastructure, Pulumi for orchestration, and Kong API Gateway for service publishing. Kong functions as a reverse proxy and ingress controller, offering features like authentication, rate limiting, and traffic monitoring to enhance agility and centralized management. Pulumi, an Infrastructure as Code platform, supports a collaborative software engineering process across various programming languages. The step-by-step instructions guide users through setting up their environment, deploying a Kong API Gateway, and testing it with a sample application. The guide provides insights into setting up Kubernetes namespaces, certificates, secrets, and Helm charts, establishing a robust foundation for further exploration and development with Kong. This setup lays the groundwork for future use in the DevMyOps series and offers a practical approach for evaluating and developing with Kong locally.
