## What it is
Kong Dashboard is a web-based GUI for managing Kong API Gateway configurations, such as APIs, services, routes, and plugins. It runs as a Node.js application or Docker container and connects to Kong's admin API.

## Use cases
- manage kong gateway through a web interface
- configure kong apis and plugins without curl
- visual admin ui for kong admin api
- self-hosted dashboard for api gateway management
- add consumers and rate limiting plugins to kong via gui

## When to choose
- you run Kong 0.9-1.x and want a graphical admin interface
- you prefer a UI over the Kong admin REST API for day-to-day gateway management
- you want a quick Docker-deployable admin panel for Kong

## When to avoid
- you use Kong 2.x+ or Kong Konnect where this dashboard is unmaintained and incompatible
- you need support for Kong 0.13+ Service and Route objects in older dashboard versions
- you need an actively developed tool with recent security patches
