Elevating Excellence of Kong Gateway - Performance Enhancement Strategies

Explore strategies for enhancing the performance and efficiency of Kong Gateway in this DevOps conference talk. Dive into key topics including Prometheus scraping, rate-limiting plugins, router optimization, and the use of Lightning Memory-Mapped Database Manager (LMDB). Learn about inter-process pub/sub patterns for Nginx worker processes and gain insights into Kong's performance testing infrastructure and nightly performance tests. Examine a case study on gateway tuning, understand the role of buffering in performance optimization, and identify scenarios where using buffers may not be suitable. Gain valuable knowledge to elevate the excellence of your Kong Gateway implementation and improve overall DevOps practices.
