All companies want to innovate currently today not everyone can actually. There are several bottlenecks for innovation. The technology it's often part of the problem and part of the solution. Software architect there is a crucial role in enabling solutions that not only scale and are available but also that make the difference. Many companies have monoliths or have several monolith systems and they are having trouble to keep up with the market pace of innovation. The cloud seems to be the right place to go. However, if we don't think how to do it we could be trapped in a problem bigger than we think. Currently, Microservices become a de-facto standard of architecture for several problems however in order to get more benefit from micro services we need do some mindset shifts. I'm not talking about basic shifts such as Independence and Isolation .

Kong is an API Management solution.  These kind of solutions are very popular currently but I remember back in 2010 have to work in projects that had required develop in-house.  API Managers are not a brand new concept they have some functions like ESBs . I'm not saying you should use an ESB :-). Kong is built on the top of NGINX . No matter if you are a developer or operations it's possible to use king with a REST API. Another interesting feature is the plugin support .
