Unify the event streaming and API developer experience
Secure, govern, discover, and observe event streams in your API platform.
Drive more ROI from event streams with an EDA-ready API platform
Build self-serve, paved roads for provisioning event API infrastructure. Developers can then expose event streams as event APIs — all governed by automated guardrails defined by the platform team.
Enforce encryption and advanced authorization policies for secure, consistent event production and consumption.
Publish event streams as secure, self-serve data products (as HTTP APIs or Kafka services) so developers, partners, and customers can discover and build on them.
Why Kong Event Gateway?
Maximize the value of real-time data without adding complexity
Monetize and productize event streams
Turn event streams into easy-to-use API products ready for any developer: internal, customer, or partner. Deliver new streaming products and experiences faster, without needing every team to be eventing experts.
Build secure, self-service express lanes
Federate access to self-service event API infrastructure so developers can instantly provision the API resources they need — either locally or in the cloud. Ensure that self-service access doesn’t break governance and security policies through automated guardrails using APIOps and infrastructure as code best practices.
Design elegant — real-time streaming architecture
Standardize event stream access, governance, and security. Enforce common design patterns, simplifying integration and driving long-term architectural consistency. Set your organization on the path to maximize real-time data value across current and future applications.
Enforce consistent security across your API and EDA stack
Extend security controls to event-driven architecture for consistent enforcement of access, identity, and encryption policies. Apply policies at the API platform layer, reducing surface area for attacks and minimizing risks hidden in custom security code.
Build on top of self-service event streams
Discover event APIs and native Kafka data products in a single developer portal — all documented and accessible in a single API portal.
Reduce infra footprint and Kafka costs
Replace redundant physical topics and clusters with virtualized topics and clusters, reducing your overall Kafka footprint and Kafka bill.
