Hopefully this isn't made into a problem that doesn't really exist ala elastic, redis, etc. To me this is a real opensource success story -- openresty / the lua bits of nginx that came out of taobao really upped the level of what you could do with nginx. Kong is a huge, nontrivial addition that builds on top of that work, the result of carving out a product focus area and really iterating on what businesses / enterprises need. This is really the best of open source, IMO.
