- [Kong](https://getkong.org) is an open-source, on-premises API and microservices gateway built on nginx with Lua. Kong is extensible through “plugins”.
- [Tyk](https://tyk.io) is an open-source API gateway implemented in Go and available in the cloud, on-premises or hybrid.
### API Gateway Tips
- 🔹Prior to 2016-11, you could only send and receive plain text data (so people would base64-encode binary data), but binary data is [now](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2016/11/binary-data-now-supported-by-api-gateway/) supported.
### API Gateway Gotchas and Limitations
- 🔸API Gateway only supports encrypted (https) endpoints, and does not support unencrypted HTTP. (This is probably a good thing.)
