In today's fast-paced digital landscape, secure and scalable identity verification systems are the backbone of trust. That’s where SecureID, a European digital identity platform, identified an opportunity to provide secure, private, and compliant digital identification. The SecureID platform enables seamless user verification across apps, governments, and businesses.
But scaling that infrastructure quickly—and opening it up to third-party developers—posed a serious challenge. Here’s how Power Dynamic Technology, the team behind SecureID, tackled the problem by integrating Kong Konnect into its Microsoft Azure infrastructure.
With a growing demand for secure identity services across Europe, Power Dynamic Technology needed to act fast. The vision: enable third-party developers to tap into SecureID’s capabilities and create next-gen apps for finance, government, and beyond.
That meant standing up a full-fledged, self-service API developer portal—something robust, secure, and easy to integrate with. And it had to be done quickly.
Enter Kong + Azure
To meet the tight deadline and ambitious scope, Power Dynamic Technology partnered with Kong, the cloud-native API platform trusted by global enterprises.
Rather than building custom API management tools from scratch, the team plugged Kong’s out-of-the-box solution into its existing Microsoft Azure Cloud infrastructure. The result? A streamlined, scalable, and secure platform that made it simple to:
Expose APIs securely to partners and developers
Distribute services rapidly across Europe
Monitor and protect APIs with built-in plugins
Scale effortlessly as demand surged
Kong Konnect is purpose-built for modern, microservices-driven architectures. Here's what made it a perfect match for SecureID:
High Performance: Kong handles over 50,000 transactions per second per node—critical for a platform serving millions.
Cloud Native: It runs seamlessly in Azure, with support for hybrid and multi-cloud setups.
Plug-and-Play Features: From rate limiting and authentication to observability and transformations, Kong’s plugin architecture makes it easy to launch fast and stay secure.
Developer-Friendly: It enabled the team to build a powerful, self-service API portal with automated onboarding and documentation.
Kong Konnect now provides the control plane for SecureID’s APIs—routing, protecting, and scaling traffic with zero hassle.
By combining Kong Konnect, Microsoft Azure, and biometric security technology from Luxand FaceSDK, Power Dynamic Technology delivered a future-proof, developer-centric digital identity platform—fast.
SecureID is now open for third-party development, with secure APIs, biometric authentication, and cloud-native scalability baked in from the start. It’s a prime example of how smart architectural choices can accelerate product delivery and open up ecosystems for innovation.
