Automate best practices across the API lifecycle with APIOps
Go fast and don’t break things. Standardize and scale governance across APIs, AI, microservices, and event-driven architectures.
Balance API developer freedom and API platform governance with APIOps
Drive time and cost efficiencies across the API lifecycle
Focus efforts on building core business and innovation — not manual, one-off API and API runtime infrastructure configuration.
Reduce quality issues, errors, and business-critical risks
Replace redundant, error-prone manual work with automated enforcement of best practices and organizational standards.
Automate your entire API, AI, and event streaming estate
Use Kong’s APIOps framework to automate best practices and processes when using the Kong API Gateway, AI Gateway, Event Gateway, and Service Mesh.
Why Kong for APIOps?
Everybody does automation. But nobody does it like Kong.
Automate how you want
Imperative and declarative options are crucial.
Nobody else offers as much flexibility around imperative and declarative automation — crucial for any large-scale API platform implementation.
Flexible declarative options
Declarative support for Kube-native teams & non-Kube orgs
If you’re a Kube-native shop, we offer a gateway operator for CRD-based declarative automation. If you’re not a Kube-native shop, use our decK CLI tool or Terraform provider for simple, seamless declarative automation.
Multi-runtime, multi-protocol
Full-lifecycle support for APIs, service mesh, AI, and events
The breadth of Kong runtime infrastructure options means you can use one platform and one automation framework for automating guardrails for APIs, microservices, AI, LLMs, agentic, and event streaming infrastructure.
Enable Developer autonomy
Build paved roads for secure, self-service API infrastructure
Combine the power of Kong APIOps with Kong Konnect's federated runtime infrastructure to provide engineers with secure, governable self-service API infrastructure.
