In this video, @ViktorGamov illustrates the differences between an API gateway and service mesh — and when to use one or the other pragmatically and objectively. He also discuss the similarities and differences between the communication layer provided by gateways, service mesh and Apache Kafka. Finally, you will learn a few ways to use Apache Kafka within a service mesh architecture.

In this two-part series, Kong Engineer, Enrique García Cota abstracts how an API gateway processes requests into four different layers.

In part 1 of this series (https://youtu.be/gnX_uBh0KOc), we started a journey from the planet-spanning infrastructure layer to what happens inside a single Kong worker, similar to an office building in complexity.

In this second part, we’ll dive a bit deeper—we'll see who the occupants of that office building are and the kind of life they live.
