Kong's database can be populated using the exported or a hand written config file. - Diff and sync capabilities
decK can diff the configuration in the config file and the configuration in Kong's DB and then sync it as well. This can be used to detect config drifts or manual interventions. - Reverse sync
decK supports a sync the other way as well, meaning if an entity is created in Kong and doesn't add it to the config file, decK will detect the change. - Validation
