Hi All,

A few days ago we released a plugin to add idempotency to routes. I hope it can be useful to someone.

This is the plugin’s link:  
[[GitHub - lojaintegrada/kong-plugin-idempotency: A Kong plugin to add idempotency to your routes.](https://github.com/lojaintegrada/kong-plugin-idempotency))

It’s already running on sensitive environment with no issues so far.

Best

Hello,

how this plugin solve idempotency between the Kong Gateway and the service? I understand it’s can solve the communication from client to Kong Gateway, but what if fall down the communication from Kong to Service?

Don’t I have to implement idempotency at the service level anyway to allow Kong to call a service multiple times?

After all, I can have a request executed by the service, but Kong doesn’t get response. So Kong will have to call the service again.

Best regards
