# Microservice & API Management Layer [![Build Status][badge-travis-image]][badge-travis-url]
[![][kong-logo]][kong-url]

Kong was originally built at [Mashape][mashape-url] to secure, manage and extend over [15,000 APIs & Microservices](http://stackshare.io/mashape/how-mashape-manages-over-15-000-apis-microservices) for its API Marketplace, which generates billions of requests per month.
Kong is a scalable, open source API Layer *(also known as an API Gateway, or API Middleware)*. Kong was originally built at [Mashape][mashape-url] to secure, manage and extend over [15,000 APIs & Microservices](http://stackshare.io/mashape/how-mashape-manages-over-15000-apis-and-microservices) for its API Marketplace, which generates billions of requests per month.

Backed by the battle-tested **NGINX** with a focus on high performance, Kong was made available as an open-source platform in 2015. Under active development, Kong is now used in production at hundreds of organizations from startups, to large enterprises and government departments.
