Kong Gateway is built on Nginx/OpenResty because it has a unique master/worker architecture, forks out many worker processes, and can utilize every CPU core efficiently. It is the powerhouse within Kong. But one master / multi workers architecture has an annoying defect. Each worker is an isolated process, so it is hard to share something with each other, and in Kong Gateway, there’s a lot of information to communicate between workers, like rebuilding router/health check/cluster sync, etc.

APIs are a key aspect of our digital world and allow us to engage in digital experiences on our phones and computers every day. Every time you use an app such as Facebook or Instagram, check the weather or send an instant message, you’re using an API. So what are APIs? API stands for Application Programming Interface, which enables communication between two applications.

Sometimes you may want to limit the amount of analytics data coming into Moesif. This could be because you want to exclude specific traffic, such as internal or health check traffic, or you may want to reduce unnecessary data to control cost. Dynamic Sampling, available to customers on our Enterprise plan, was built to do just this. Dynamic Sampling lets you control which API calls are logged to Moesif based on customer or API behavior.

It’s always great to build something that makes money. The most successful businesses often find the easiest and most efficient ways to make money, while keeping costs and support to a minimum. After all, the best businesses and products are simply the ones that know how to build revenue. Many companies now look to monetizing their APIs as part of their overall monetization strategy. API monetization isn’t always easy though.
