## What it is
Konga is a self-hosted web-based GUI for managing the Kong API Gateway Admin API. It supports managing multiple Kong nodes, consumers, snapshots/backup, health checks, and notifications via email and Slack.

## Use cases
- manage kong api gateway through a web ui
- administer multiple kong nodes from one dashboard
- backup and restore kong configurations with snapshots
- monitor kong node and api health checks
- import kong consumers from databases or files
- set up slack or email alerts for kong api status

## When to choose
- you run Kong 1.x and want a graphical admin interface instead of raw Admin API calls
- you need multi-user management of Kong with snapshots and health monitoring
- you want a self-hosted dashboard with MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB persistence

## When to avoid
- you use Kong 2.x or newer, since Konga 0.14+ only supports Kong 1.x
- you prefer declarative/gitops configuration (deck) over a GUI
- you need an actively developed tool with modern framework support
