Welcome to Kong API Gateway Course

Tired of using port forwarding to access your Kubernetes APIs?

In this hands-on course, you'll transform a simple internal API that requires port forwarding into a production-ready external service that the world can access. But that's just the beginning  you'll also turn Kong into your API's personal bouncer.

Starting with an API that's locked away inside your cluster, you'll install Kong and watch as your service becomes externally accessible. Then you'll add API key authentication so only authorized users can get through, and finally implement rate limiting to prevent any single user from overwhelming your service.

What makes Kong special? While other ingress controllers are just doors, Kong is a door with a smart bouncer  it doesn't just let traffic through, it checks credentials and enforces rules. You'll see each security layer activate in real-time as unauthorized requests get blocked and rate limits kick in.

Ready to turn your internal APIs into secure, professional-grade services? Let's build your API fortress!
