How and Why to Migrate from Kong Open Source to Kong Konnect

Kong Konnect is a powerful SaaS-based API lifecycle management platform that provides a fast path for people looking to get started with Kong API Gateway. For existing users of Kong’s open-source gateway, it offers a way to rapidly take advantage of a scalable, highly-available architecture while upgrading to an Enterprise-class feature set and support options.

API Monetization with the Kong Developer Portal, Stripe, and Moesif

Many API developers and companies struggle to find ways to set up systems to monetize their APIs easily. Some are simple but not customizable, and some are complex and require massive engineering effort to get them all running. Join Matt as we use the Kong Developer portal to register a user in Kong, Stripe, and Moesif. The user will then be able to generate API keys to access monetized endpoints. As traffic flows into the endpoint, Moesif will record and send the usage statistics over to Stripe so that users can be charged.

Integrating Stripe with Moesif for API Monetization

Once you decide to monetize your app or APIs, the journey begins to find a simple and robust solution for billing. At Moesif, we know that a billing solution is actually really tough to implement. Getting your product from “0-to-monetization” is not always a straightforward path, even if it should be. Our no-code approach to billing is a simple and elegant way to very rapidly gain the capability to bill customers for usage. Easy monetization is the premise for our latest feature for generating revenue from your apps and APIs.

Monitoring APIs with Grafana

Now that we have explored monitoring apis with Prometheus, let’s take a look at monitoring our APIs with Grafana. You may have noticed from the previous blog that Prometheus is awesome, but takes some time to fully flesh out and their dashboards aren’t easy to read or very eye-catching. Luckily for us, Grafana specializes in data visualization. We won’t even have to configure all our Prometheus queries, so let’s get started.
