Kong has introduced a new gateway deployment method, Serverless Gateways, in its Kong Konnect platform, allowing Konnect Plus users to deploy a fully managed gateway quickly and affordably. This serverless option is designed for rapid prototyping, testing, and experimentation without the financial and operational burdens typical of traditional gateways. The flexibility of deployment options, which also include Dedicated Cloud and Hybrid modes, caters to diverse organizational needs. Dedicated Cloud Gateways offer high performance and security akin to visiting a high-end café, while Hybrid Gateways provide deployment flexibility similar to a home coffee setup. Serverless Gateways, comparable to grabbing a quick coffee from a convenience store, are ideal for non-production environments where speed and cost-effectiveness are prioritized. This new offering aims to streamline API management, enabling developer teams to focus on core application development by providing a fast and efficient gateway setup.
