Enable Kong Gateway Tracing in 5 Minutes
Kong Gateway is a popular API gateway that sits at the edge of your infrastructure, routing and shaping traffic across microservices. It’s fast, pluggable, and battle-tested, but for many teams, it remains a black box. You might have OpenTelemetry set up across your application stack. Traces flow from your app servers, databases, and third-party APIs. But the moment a request enters through Kong, observability drops off.
