Difference between Kong OSS and Kong Gateway Free

[monteiro-alan]

Hello!

I'm using Kong OSS for a while, but since Konga is not receiving updates I'm a little afraid of continue using Kong OSS. I like the ideia of Kong Manager, but it is not clear for me what is the difference between Kong OSS and Kong Free, that comes with Kong Manager.

I appreciate any help in clarifying this doubt!

In short Kong Free is Kong OSS + Kong Manager.

Anybody have any idea about these questions?
Is there any request/month restriction on self-managed OSS or Enterprise Free?
Kong documentation seems buggy. It claims that self-managed Enterprise Free dose not exists at all (but it dose!)
So i need some solid answer about this. i can not risk to find answer in action!

The doc is becoming unclear, I was coming from older OSS version of Kong 2.x. Looking at it now, it is becoming unclear, and more and more unfriendly for OSS.

You can use Kong Gateway Free with no limitations, and it ships with Kong Manager. Effectively is a drop-in replacement for Kong Gateway OSS.

Do you have a link to the git repo for this "Kong Gateway Free" version, that is not the Kong Gateway OSS version? Just so it is clear

Kong docs are so confusing there is no clear comparison between Open Source and Paid Version

Hello,

I have been referring many docs to understand the available deployment options in kubernetes using Helm charts. But these docs are so confusing with no proper explanation. In this https://docs.konghq.com/gateway/latest/#on-premises doc, It is mentioned that there are three ways to deploy self managed kong,

1. kong OSS.
2. Kong Enterprise - 2.1. Free Enterprise & 2.2. Paid Enterprise.

In Github doc https://github.com/Kong/charts/blob/main/charts/kong/README.md#runtime-package , they mentioned that there are 3 packages to deploy in K8s

1. Kong Gateway (OpenSource)
2. Kong Enterprise K8S (No proper Explanation)
3. Kong Enterprise (No proper Explanation)

I tried to install the OpenSource Kong Gateway & I'm Getting this kind of DashBoard

But when I check in the Kong Docs, the open source kong dashboard is like this
