Kong has launched its new Developer Portal as part of its API discovery initiative, aiming to redefine what a developer portal should be by balancing simplicity and deep customization. Built on modern frameworks such as Nuxt, Vue.js, and TypeScript, it offers features like server-side rendering, smart caching, and reusable component architecture to enhance performance and developer experience. The portal introduces Markdown Components for easily creating interactive content and Snippets for reusable custom components, promoting scalability and maintainability. Unlike traditional portals, it combines beautiful UI with integrated functionalities like self-service workflows, enterprise-grade access controls, and real-time customization through a built-in portal editor. The portal also features a custom OpenAPI renderer for improved API documentation, developer registration, smart search capabilities, and robust analytics, ensuring a comprehensive, user-friendly experience tailored to both developers and enterprise needs.
