09/06/2023, 1:52 PMAn important part of investigating Kong OSS for us was their break between the OSS plugins and the Enterprise plugins: https://docs.konghq.com/hub/. Many of the functionality that's important to us are in the Enterprise only list (OIDC, "* Advanced" Traffic Control + Transformations, Kafka Upstream + Log)

09/11/2023, 1:59 PMwrt Kubernetes and Kong - there is a native integration with Kubernetes Ingress and Gateway API called Ingress Controller (it’s oss and works with both Kong OSS and Kong Enterprise). I did a bunch of different videos about this integration. Check it out https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg_AhYkg50vgDeBQJh7K3o0Jk4L58pXJ4
