Cloud-Native API Management with Kong, Tyk & AWS API Gateway is a comprehensive online program designed for backend developers, DevOps professionals, architects, and platform engineers aiming to master the design, deployment, and governance of APIs in modern cloud environments. This course offers both foundational knowledge and advanced practices in managing APIs across distributed systems, ensuring scalability, security, observability, and developer experience.
What is Cloud-Native API Management with Kong, Tyk & AWS API Gateway?
Cloud-native API management is the process of exposing, securing, monitoring, and scaling APIs using distributed, container-friendly, and scalable gateways and platforms. Unlike traditional API gateways, tools like Kong, Tyk, and AWS API Gateway are built to thrive in Kubernetes-based microservices ecosystems, offering dynamic service discovery, traffic control, rate limiting, authentication, observability, and automation through declarative configurations and CI/CD pipelines.
Kong is an open-source, scalable API gateway and microservices management layer.
Tyk is a lightweight, highly-performant API gateway and analytics platform.
AWS API Gateway provides fully managed API proxying with serverless capabilities integrated tightly with AWS Lambda, IAM, and CloudWatch.
Together, these tools enable you to architect production-grade, resilient API layers.
How to Use This Course
To make the most of this course, follow a structured, hands-on approach:
Start with the Basics: Begin with an introduction to API Gateway principles, RESTful design, and cloud-native architecture.
Practice Hands-on Labs: Build and deploy APIs using Kong, Tyk, and AWS API Gateway step-by-step using Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS CloudFormation.
Explore Key Use Cases: Apply what you learn to real-world scenarios like API versioning, rate limiting, OAuth2 integration, and observability with Prometheus/Grafana.
Use Each Tool in Context: Learn when to use Kong for hybrid workloads, Tyk for lightweight edge deployments, and AWS API Gateway for fully managed serverless environments.
Deploy in Stages: Practice deploying gateways locally, in Kubernetes, and in cloud environments.
Document & Share: Use Swagger/OpenAPI specs and auto-documentation plugins to expose APIs to other developers.
Secure Your APIs: Learn JWT, API keys, mutual TLS, and integration with identity providers (e.g., Auth0, AWS Cognito).
Integrate Observability: Configure logging, monitoring, alerting, and tracing.
Advance to Mesh & Service Discovery: Learn how API Gateways interact with service meshes like Istio and Consul.
Prepare for Real-World Workloads: The final capstone will combine all knowledge into a simulated production-grade deployment pipeline.
This course is ideal for DevOps engineers, backend developers, API architects, cloud engineers, and technical leads looking to modernize API infrastructure for scale and performance.

Freelance opportunities and consulting roles are also growing in this niche. Whether you're modernizing legacy APIs or launching serverless services, this course provides the expertise to lead API transformation efforts confidently.
1. What is an API Gateway and why is it important? An API Gateway is a server that acts as an entry point for APIs, handling requests, authentication, rate limiting, routing, and monitoring. It simplifies API management and improves security and scalability.
2. How does Kong differ from traditional API gateways? Kong is lightweight, open-source, and built for microservices and containerized environments. It supports plugins, integrates with Kubernetes, and offers high performance.
3. What is Tyk and how is it used? Tyk is an open-source API gateway that provides traffic control, analytics, and developer portals. It’s known for its ease of setup and flexibility across on-prem, hybrid, and cloud environments.
4. When should you use AWS API Gateway? Use AWS API Gateway when building serverless architectures or tightly integrated AWS-based APIs. It supports REST and WebSocket APIs and works seamlessly with AWS Lambda.
5. How does OAuth2 work in an API gateway context? OAuth2 allows secure delegated access. The gateway can verify tokens issued by identity providers (like Auth0 or Cognito) to ensure secure access to protected resources.
6. What is rate limiting and why is it used? Rate limiting restricts the number of requests a user can make in a given time. It prevents abuse, ensures fair usage, and maintains service stability.
7. How do Kong and Tyk support observability? Both provide integration with Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, and other monitoring tools. They support request logging, metrics export, and tracing.
8. What is service discovery and how does Kong use it? Service discovery allows gateways to dynamically detect backend services. Kong integrates with DNS, Consul, and Kubernetes for automatic route updates.
9. What are plugins in Kong and how are they used? Plugins extend Kong’s functionality for authentication, caching, logging, etc. They can be enabled per service or globally and are configured via the Admin API or declaratively.
10. How can you manage APIs declaratively? Using configuration files in YAML/JSON, tools like decK (for Kong) or Terraform, you can define APIs, routes, and plugins, and version-control the API infrastructure for CI/CD.
