Layer7-to-Kong migration agency
CRG Technologies translates complex Layer7 policy estates into production-ready Kong configurations and custom plugins—then proves parity before cutover.
Fixed scope · 2–3 week assessment · deployment options for regulated environments
What your team can expect
01
Every assertion is classified as stock plugin, custom implementation, or genuine gap, with risk and effort attached.
02
Sensitive exports can be processed with self-hosted inference or under a signed zero-retention arrangement.
03
Cutover evidence comes from replayed traffic and behavioral diffs—not a visual review of generated YAML.
The migration path
Layer7 XML assertion trees and Kong’s declarative model do not map cleanly. We combine translation automation with deep gateway judgment where correctness matters.
01 / Assessment
Provide policy exports and receive a portability report covering automatic conversions, required Lua or Go plugins, unsupported behavior, dependency risk, and a defensible implementation estimate.
2–3 weeks
Fixed-scope decision package
02 / Conversion
We generate Kong services, routes, consumers, plugins, and declarative configuration at scale. Specialists review stateful flows, WS-Security, SAML, XML signing, custom assertions, and the edge cases automation cannot safely decide.
03 / Parity harness
Replay representative production requests against both gateways and compare response bodies, headers, authentication outcomes, status codes, and error behavior. Exceptions become an actionable queue, and approved paths become cutover evidence.

Built for regulated estates
For banks, insurers, telecommunications providers, and government teams, deployment architecture is part of the engagement—not an afterthought. We establish data handling, inference, access, and retention controls before policy analysis begins.

Start with a fixed-scope assessment that tells executives what can move, what must be rebuilt, where the risk sits, and what the complete Kong migration will require.
