## Cloud Native
### Moving from an API call economy…
The API call dominated the cloud-native era. We helped you become an API-first company.
## Agentic AI
### …to a token economy
Now the token is king. We'll help you build, run, and govern agents to win this new landscape.
## Fragmentation drives AI failure
Get un-fragmented. Unify your AI cost, security, and risk posture with Kong.
## WITHOUT KONG
## WITH KONG
Build, deploy, and run agentic infrastructure in a single developer workspace.
Eliminate critical security and resilience risks across the entire AI data path.
Monetize agent context, and do what it takes to win the new context economy.
## Unified API and AI platform
Build agents. Orchestrate context. Govern APIs, events, and data access. All in one unified API and AI platform.
## Agentic AI Management
**Build fast, safe, cost-effective agents**
Build and test agents. Connect them with intelligence and enterprise context.
- *
**Speed:** Use pre-built policies to connect agents with intelligence and context
- *
**Cost:** Optimize context handling and token consumption
- *
**Risk:** Standardize your approach to agent resilience and access control
## API Management
**Manage the entire API lifecycle**
Everything from API design and testing to publishing and monetization. All in one platform.
- *
**Speed**: Reduce time to API onboarding and drive API reuse
- *
**Cost**: Stand up internal API chargeback and drive max cost efficiency
- *
**Risk**: Enforce access control and threat protection for every API, everywhere
## Event Management
**Open up real-time data for real-time agents**
Standardize how you integrate agents and applications with real-time data streams.
- *
**Speed**: Speed up dev cycles through self-serve access to real-time data
- *
**Cost**: Eliminate redundant broker infrastructure, and lower overall infra costs
- *
**Risk**: Offload auth, encryption, failover, and more to the Gateway
## API + AI Monetization
**Govern costs & monetize digital assets**
Optimize token consumption, and monetize consumption of intelligence and context.
- *
**Speed: Make and launch pricing changes in minutes — not weeks**
- *
**Cost**: Set up entitlements, and enforce limits at runtime
- *
**Risk**: Don’t let runway AI costs get in the way of continued AI innovation
## Developer Productivity
**Design, test, and produce agentic workflows**
Package high-quality, high-trust digital assets for agent and developer consumption.
- *
**Speed**: Speed up agentic development with self-serve API and MCP discovery
- *
**Cost**: Publish monetized API and AI products in the self-serve Developer Portal
- *
**Risk**: Test for critical quality, security, and resilience risks
