This architecture, based on the separation between the <strong>Control Plane (CP)</strong> and the <strong>Data Plane (DP)</strong>, is one of the deployment models recommended by Kong for API Gateway environments because of its flexibility, scalability, and high availability.</p> <p>In a Hybrid deployment, only the <strong>Control Plane</strong> maintains a direct connection to the database and is responsible for managing the full gateway configuration through the <strong>Admin API</strong> and <strong>Kong Manager</strong>. The <strong>Data Planes</strong>, on the other hand, run in <em>DB-less</em> mode and automatically receive configuration from the Control Plane through a secure channel protected by <strong>mTLS</strong>. This allows the Data Planes to keep processing traffic even if the Control Plane or the database becomes temporarily unavailable.</p>
