About
Kong Gateway is an API gateway that manages, secures, and routes API traffic using a cloud-native, platform-agnostic architecture.
It provides request proxying, routing, load balancing, health checks, authentication, rate limiting, and observability features, and can be extended through plugins written in Lua, Go, or 
JavaScript.
Swagger is a suite of open-source tools built around the 
OpenAPI Specification that enables developers to design, build, and document REST APIs through a standardized, machine- and human-readable interface.
It supports OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, and 
JSON Schema and includes components such as Swagger Editor for writing and validating API definitions with real-time feedback, Swagger UI for generating interactive documentation, and Swagger Codegen for producing client SDKs and server stubs.
