Kong vs Apigee

Say no to vendor lock-in and forced migrations.

API platforms should adapt to your needs, not the other way around. Build on top of more performant runtimes and operate in any cloud with Kong.

Why Kong?

Choose architectural freedom

Don’t let your API Management solution dictate your cloud provider or keep you from going on a multi-cloud journey.

Kong is cloud-agnostic and can be deployed as a fully Kong-managed offering or a hybrid offering where you host your own API infrastructure.

Reduce your infrastructural footprint

Ditch expensive, heavyweight deployments. Kong’s lightweight gateway and API Platform deliver more for less.

Drive efficiency across the API lifecycle

Make API Management faster and more efficient with automation, APIOps, and more robust, pre-built functionality.
