One of the strengths of Kong API Gateway is its scalability.

It can be easily deployed on-premises or in the cloud and can be used to manage and secure APIs at any scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It is an excellent lightweight API Rest and GraphQL client"
Product Reviewed: Kong Insomnia
What do you like best about Kong Insomnia?

It is lightweight, and the user interface is very clean, and not as crowded as user interfaces in other API clients. I have liked it since I watched it for the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kong Insomnia?

It would be cool if it has automatic API testing or a better Documentation module. The current Docs tab is just a Description field. It would be cool if it were similar to Postman or Readme.io. In the company where I am working, this was the problem of why the company decided not to continue with Insomnia. It was nice to share collections, but we needed documentation.
