Team Migrates APIs from AWS API Gateway to Kong Konnect Using CDKTF and Azure DevOps
An engineer describes a project that moved APIs from AWS API Gateway to Kong Konnect, with the goal of replacing manual UI-based configuration. The team used CDKTF with TypeScript to define Kong services, routes and plugins, managing Dev, Stage and Production from a shared codebase. Azure DevOps pipelines automated Terraform deployments through a plan, approval and apply workflow, with a rollback approach based on prior Terraform state. Key challenges included mapping authorizers to Kong plugins, validating rate limiting and authentication, and avoiding service interruption during the cutover. The author reports that version control, consistent deployments and reviewable changes were the main benefits of the approach.
