Control Plane And Data Plane Separation For Hybrid Deployments

🦍 The API and AI Gateway

Unique: Implements a control plane-data plane architecture with RPC-based configuration synchronization, enabling centralized management of distributed Kong deployments across multiple environments without requiring data plane restarts for configuration changes

vs others: Unlike single-node Kong deployments or service mesh control planes, Kong's hybrid mode enables centralized configuration management with distributed data planes, supports multiple deployment environments, and allows configuration updates without downtime
