Migrate from Kong to Envoy Gateway

Take the first step in your Kong to Envoy migration journey with free tools.

1

Install the kong2eg Migration Tool

kong2eg is a migration tool that helps you transition from Kong Gateway to Envoy Gateway by integrating Kong as an external processing extension within Envoy Gateway. This enables you to phase out usage of Kong plugins for request and response transformation, while routing and traffic control are handled by Envoy Gateway.

Install it using:

go install github.com/tetratelabs/kong2eg@latest

With the tool installed, you can start migrating your Kong configuration to Envoy Gateway.
