It looks like it can be useful, but not necessarily for my use case.
What do you like best? The documentation is well-organized. Getting things running in Docker as a test was very easy. It has many potentially useful features. What do you dislike? I understand Mashape had Cassandra running already, but it's a ridiculous requirement for a configuration store. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We switched to Nginx.

It will makes sense far more intuitive. Recommendations to others considering the product You should consider evaluating other API Gateway ...

Api Abstraction to the best
What do you like best? No worries about implementation, Takes very little time to setup and get things running. I was using way2sms api to send sms for my project work. I used their python library which was great What do you dislike? I was a bit doubtful about the auth system. which involved sending the sms text, and login credentials as url parameter in the GET request. Recommendations to others considering the product I used a very small portion of serrvice that kong provides and ...
