Kong is excited to announce Solace as the newest member of our Premium Technology Partner Program, a program designed to deliver high-quality, reliable integrations that provide real business value for customers. Together, Kong and Solace unify API-driven and real-time data movement into a single, governed, and fully observable data fabric that is built for the demands of the agentic era.
Companies are under pressure to develop quickly while still enforcing consistent policies across APIs, events, and AI services. Since agentic AI systems rely on live, contextual data, they need to keep real-time data flowing smoothly across the business and other stakeholders.
Today, APIs and events are often managed in separate, siloed systems that slow down delivery, raise governance challenges, and lack visibility. The traditional REST API-focused setup can’t keep up with the pace at which organizations need to develop. This level of complexity on top of fast-paced environments is bound to lead to human error.
That’s where Kong and Solace come into play.
Teams can now manage and govern their APIs and events through a shared control plane, built jointly on the Kong and Solace platforms, allowing them to apply consistent lifecycles, policies, authentication, and access controls across every data path.
Solace delivers high-performance real-time data movement, event governance, and event-driven agentic AI orchestration, while Kong adds centralized API management, security, observability, and AI governance.
Now, all of the data interactions — from event streams and APIs — can be consolidated into one, easy-to-manage place with full visibility.
The addition of Solace to Kong’s Premium Technology Partner Program reinforces our commitment to building a trusted ecosystem that helps customers innovate faster across APIs, events, and AI.
Agents are ultimately decision makers. They make those decisions by combining intelligence with context, ultimately meaning they are only ever as useful as the context they can access. An agent that can't check inventory levels, look up customer his
