Datum Consulting’s "Kong Enterprise API Gateway Accelerator" fast‑tracks your move to a modern, cloud‑native API gateway on AWS. We rapidly deploy Kong Enterprise on HAQM EKS behind an AWS Network Load Balancer, with HAQM RDS for persistent configuration and plugin data. The accelerator delivers a unified, highly available entry point for all API traffic, complete with built‑in authentication, rate limiting, and end‑to‑end SSL/TLS. Our engagement guides you from initial assessment to a fully functioning proof of concept (PoC), giving your teams centralized control, deep observability, and a roadmap for scalable, multi‑cloud API management.

Overview
The Kong Enterprise API Gateway Accelerator equips your organization with centralized API governance, stronger security, and predictable scalability. By consolidating routing, authentication, and traffic policies in one AWS‑native gateway, development teams release services faster while operations teams gain fine‑grained control and real‑time insight. The result: reduced integration overhead, lower risk, and a future‑proof foundation for digital products.
We leverage Kong Enterprise running on HAQM EKS for container orchestration, an AWS Network Load Balancer for resilient ingress, and HAQM RDS for durable configuration storage. This reference architecture follows AWS Well‑Architected guidelines, embraces infrastructure‑as‑code for repeatability, and integrates with your preferred security and monitoring stacks. Advanced Kong plugins deliver out‑of‑the‑box authentication, rate limiting, and service mesh interoperability, ensuring the gateway scales securely with your business.
