Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2022)
Kong (https://konghq.com) | Gateway Senior Engineer | REMOTE Europe | Full-time
The Kong Gateway is an API Management solution, which serves as a foundation for many other solutions by the company. The business model is open-core: an Open Source solution exists (https://github.com/kong/kong), and there's an Enterprise version with more features and dedicated support.
The tech stack is a modified Openresty with of Lua code on top. The ideal candidate would be someone who is already familiar with Kong. Alternatively, if you are familiar with Openresty or other API management solution, we also would love to talk with you.
I am personally interested in finding people to join me in the European Gateway Team. The role involves adding features, fixing bugs, and collaborating with other teams. Here's that position:
https://jobs.lever.co/kong/c1a2b204-45a8-4c19-9cd4-d9824a778...
We have many projects and many teams all around the world (current headcount is ~450), using other technologies like Node in the Kong Manager or Go in the Koko project, and we are constantly looking for people. Please visit our careers page to find out more!

Breaking Up a Monolithic Database with Kong
Kong Gateway allows the complexity of service-tier APIs to be reduced to a collection of endpoints (or URIs) focused on meeting a collection of business needs and functionality. Often-duplicated components (like authentication, logging, and security) are handled by the gateway and can be removed from the service-tier design.

Difference between Reverse Proxy, Load Balancer and API Gateway
I am seeing different companies taking different approach. I am not sure anymore where each should be actually used. On top of that tech like Kong make me question whether API Gateway should be one thing for all. Some perspective into this would be really appreciated.

M1: Docker doesn't find shared x64 shared objects even though platform was specified
Distroless images are better left for people with serious need for lightweight images and good Linux knowledge because they require lot of planning with the build so that they stay light and work. If you need lighter images but docker isn't your main tool and you can't afford to take hours and hours of practicing different build strategies you can check docker-slim (https://dockersl.im/). With this tool you can easily size down the images.
