KongAir

An example Kong application based on a fictitious airline, KongAir.

This project will aim to provide working examples of various Kong, Inc. technolgies including Kong Konnect and APIOps.

The repository is modeled as a shared monorepo with various teams having their code and configurations stored in folders at the top level. For example, the fictitious "Flight Data" team stores their projects in the flight-data subfolder.

Also modeled here is a simulated central governance team, named platform. This team mimics the typical responsibility of a central team that manages shared infastructure, like API Gateways.

Automated APIOps processes are exemplified in GitHub Actions using the Kong APIOps capabilities.

Teams

  • The flight-data team owns public facing APIs that serve KongAir's flight data information services including the routes and flights services.
  • The sales engineering team owns services that service customer needs. The customer service hosts customer information including payment methods, frequent flyer information, etc... The bookings service manages customer flight bookings and depends on the public flight-data team services.
  • The experience team uses GraphQL and builds "experience" APIs to drive applications. The experience APIs aggregate the other KongAir REST APIs to make a dynamic unified API for applications.
