The growth of APIs continues to drive our digital economy, and API management underpins the success of every modern application and the businesses that depend on their success. Today, we are very excited to announce the release of an essential guide to building and managing next-generation API platforms with GraphQL.
Kong and Apollo, as leaders in the respective areas of API management and GraphQL, have partnered to author a thorough technical examination of next-generation API platforms. This joint paper provides API practitioners with the tools they need to navigate the complex API landscape and drive successful digital experiences for their users.
The paper starts by looking at the foundation of APIs, and how the move to microservice architectures has presented challenges for the engineering teams managing them.
We study the three key pillars of the modern API platform:
A reference architecture dives into the details of each layer, providing key strategies for building, deploying and operating APIs and leveraging GraphQL using a modern approach.
Kong and Apollo technologies complement perfectly and provide the best-in-class solution at each architectural layer. The modern API platform is summarized using our respective SaaS offerings as the most complete and expedited solution to building your modern API platform.
We invite you to download a copy of this definitive guide and join Kong, Apollo, and our customers in building the secure, dynamic, and modern API Platforms of the future.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but there’s a lot of data out there — and the amount is only growing. Estimates typically show persistent data growth roughly at a 20% annual compounded rate. Capturing, storing, analyzing, and actioning data
In this blog post, we’ll demonstrate how easy it is to use Gateway API HTTPRoutes to route traffic to workloads deployed in different namespaces in a single Kubernetes cluster — a process that’s easier than ever. Previously, we only had Ingress API
Modern software design relies heavily on distributed systems architecture, requiring all APIs to be robust and secure. GraphQL is no exception and is commonly served over HTTP, subjecting it to the same management concerns as any REST-based API. In
Modern organizations rely on APIs to power their digital customer experiences. This can lead to stronger brand loyalty and higher revenues — if they play their cards right. The driving factor in delivering personalized content is connectivity to mor
