This book is your complete reference for mastering Kong API Gateway from the ground up. Whether you are deploying your first route, architecting a multi-region platform, or orchestrating traffic across dozens of LLM providers, this guide provides production-ready patterns, real configurations, and deep architectural understanding. You will learn how Kong works internally on OpenResty, how to deploy it in every supported mode, how to secure APIs at scale, how to run Kong as a Kubernetes ingress controller, and how to harness the AI Gateway for intelligent LLM routing, semantic caching, guardrails, and cost optimization. Every chapter delivers working examples in Docker, Kubernetes YAML, Helm charts, decK declarations, Terraform, and application code across Spring Boot, Node.js, Python, Go, .NET, gRPC, GraphQL, Kafka, LangChain, and LlamaIndex.
