## Description

Konga is a web-based administration panel for managing Kong API Gateway entities, nodes, and configurations without requiring direct command-line or API calls. It provides a visual interface for configuring routes, services, plugins, and upstreams, and supports connecting to and switching between multiple distributed gateway instances from a single control plane.

The panel includes role-based access control that regulates which administrators can view or modify gateway configurations through separate user accounts and permissions. It also offers polling-based health monitoring that periodically checks gateway nodes and APIs, displaying results in a real-time dashboard, along with an event-triggered notification system that sends alerts via email or Slack when system state changes or health failures occur.

Additional capabilities include snapshot-based state backup and restore for capturing and migrating the full state of a Kong node, and an external consumer import pipeline that pulls user records from remote databases, files, or APIs to synchronize with the gateway directory. Panel configuration and user data are persisted in MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB for availability across restarts.
