Why We Switched from NGINX Is to KONG API Gateway

API development has moved from a single stack monolithic architecture to the majestic microservices architecture. The API Gateway is the lord and the savior for the application instances running behind it. It proxies the requests to the requisite application instance (as a reverse proxy) Now your endpoint can be independent of the microservice it caters to. If you want to have multiple endpoints (e.g., /documents, /documentation) connected to the same application, you can reverse proxy it, baby!
