This is a new service from the Mashape team that secures, manages, and extends your APIs. It's also open source.
@erictwillis I think it's a powerful statement and win for the Open Source community.
In a way it's like when GMail gave out thousands of GB worth of email space for free, while competitors were charging you a lot of money to have a barely an extra Gbyte.. The best bit is: this is open-source on top of it all, so you actually can personalise it at will if you know what you're doing, and contribute to the project itself
@ahmadnassri VP of Engineering at Mashape on KONG:
"Making it open source is the icing on the cake!
We want to give the power back to the developer community and together create amazing open source tooling, while directly adding years of lessons learned to your development stack.
Open sourcing Kong which powers our API marketplace with billions of calls per day, is not only a major milestone for the team, but also marks a shift in API tooling and services, we're challenging the the status quo and service providers by giving away for free what they charge for in thousands (and in some cases millions) of dollars."
This looks incredible, @sinzone. Really excited to try it out. Also, great landing page - the visuals + content are awesome and definitely made me want to learn more.
@chris_hendel thank you Chris. We put lot of team time and resources on it. We have lots to do.. pls ping me if you would like a particular plugin there https://github.com/Mashape/kong/.... Worth mention that we're also part of the same CRV family ;)
