Kong for Amazon Web Services

Overview

Organizations are attempting to modernize by embracing decentralized architectures, automating workflows, and adopting CI/CD practices. Kong’s Service Control Platform is designed to optimize today’s application modernization needs through intelligent automation across the full lifecycle of APIs and services.

Kong’s plug-in architecture and open-source core make the platform extensible for any use case. Kong accelerates moving mission-critical services to the AWS cloud by reducing disruption to the business during and after migration. Kong also enables AWS services integration to legacy on-premise systems that are not designed to handle cloud-volume requests. Kong works with AWS EKS, Lambda, ECS, RDS, Aurora, ElastiCache and more.

Benefits

Performance at Scale

Kong provides the industry’s lowest latency and highest scalability to ensure your services always perform at their best. Kong’s lightweight core built for the cloud-native world allows you to optimize performance as your AWS services scale up to thousands of transactions per second.

Flexible and Extensible

Kong’s active open source core is developed by a global community of developers focused on the next era of API management. Kong’s plug-in architecture makes it easy for organizations to take advantage of plug-ins sourced from the community, third-party providers, and from Kong’s Enterprise team.

Move to Cloud with a Hybrid AWS Solution

Kong supports hybrid use cases, for customers who want to move mission-critical services to the AWS cloud but still need to connect with other services remaining in on-premise systems due to business requirements.
