Kong is a cloud-native, fast, scalable, and distributed Microservice Abstraction Layer (also known as an API Gateway or API Middleware). Made available as an open-source project in 2015, its core values are high performance and extensibility.
Actively maintained, Kong is widely used in production at companies ranging from startups to Global 5000 as well as government organizations.

If you are building for the web, mobile, or IoT (Internet of Things) you will likely end up needing common functionality to run your actual software. Kong can help by acting as a gateway (or a sidecar) for microservices requests while providing load balancing, logging, authentication, rate-limiting, transformations, and more through plugins.
Tyk is a lightweight, open source API Gateway and Management Platform enables you to control who accesses your API, when they access it and how they access it. Tyk will also record detailed analytics on how your users are interacting with your API and when things go wrong.
Go version 1.10 is required to build master, the current
development version. Tyk is officially supported on linux/amd64,
linux/i386 and linux/arm64.
Tests are run against both Go versions 1.10 & 1.11, however at present, only Go 1.10 is officially supported.
1Backend is a platform designed to make deploying, running and maintaining lambda functions/microservices easy.
It enables you to launch a new live app in seconds - after choosing your tech stack (e.g. Go with access to an SQL database) you get an empty app which is already live and callable from the outside (through HTTP).
You just have to plug in your own code (no, you don't have to write code in the browser). It's even pre-connected to your database and other infrastructure elements of your choosing.
Automate the exchanges of the data between the applications and services you use on the web.
Make Twitter talk to Mastodon, make Github talk to Mattermost, store your favorite tweets by creating notes in Evernote, follow RSS feeds and post each news in Wallabag, Pocket or Evernote.
The possibilities are too numerous to name all of them, but with that project you won't have to raise your little finger at all: automate everything and make your life easier.
And last but not least, as this is your project, all the credentials you used to give to IFTTT and consorts, are now safe in your hands.
Microservices Status Page. Monitors a distributed infrastructure and sends alerts (Slack, SMS, etc.).
Vigil is an open-source Status Page you can host on your infrastructure, used to monitor all your servers and apps, and visible to your users (on a domain of your choice, eg. status.example.com).
It is useful in microservices contexts to monitor both apps and backends. If a node goes down in your infrastructure, you receive a status change notification in a Slack channel, Email, Twilio SMS or/and XMPP.
DeviceHive turns any connected device into the part of Internet of Things. It provides the communication layer, control software and multi-platform libraries to bootstrap development of smart energy, home automation, remote sensing, telemetry, remote control and monitoring software and much more.
