API Gateway Kong Series (i) Primary knowledge

Recent work needs, coupled with the relatively lack of domestic articles (search for the two articles), and the official documents in some of the demo also have some outdated places, so pen record these, hoping to help.

Let's introduce the next Kong (main reference website):

Before using Kong, the internal API architecture

1. Generic modules are not reused in each API

2. Difficult to maintain

3. Does not affect the other service state difficult to expand

4. Due to system restrictions on inefficient production
