Kong Konnect has introduced several new features aimed at enhancing user experience and functionality, including consumer groups, dynamic client registration, plugin ordering, and a streamlined Docker runtime instance creation process. The addition of consumer groups allows users to manage custom rate limiting configurations for different subsets of consumers, simplifying the process by centralizing related consumers and applying policies based on business needs. Dynamic client registration now supports integration with identity providers like Curity and Auth0, offering a more secure solution for distributed applications by reducing the overhead of credential management. The plugin ordering feature grants users flexibility in configuring the sequence of plugin executions according to their preferences, which can improve performance and security. The process for launching Docker runtime instances has been simplified, allowing users to initiate container-based runtimes with a single command, eliminating previous security concerns and optimizing the setup process. Users are encouraged to explore these features through the documentation or a free trial.
