Thread the API governance needle between platform governance and developer velocity.

### Reduce operational overhead and complexity

Provide a one-stop shop for API runtime provisioning that best fits each team’s deployment preferences — hybrid, multi-cloud, or serverless.

### Strengthen your security and governance posture

Automate security guardrails for runtime deployment to ensure consistent API security best practices.

### Build a federated API platform

Federate access to API runtime infra so that distributed teams can use multiple different API gateways — while retaining central platform governance.

### Extend your platform to AI, events, and microservices

Use Konnect to provision and manage AI gateway, event gateway, and service mesh infrastructure.

Multi-runtime, multi-protocol, multi-cloud.

## 01/ Self-serve model

-
Set up gateway-paved roads so developers can self-serve provision gateways and other runtime infrastructure that suits their use case.
-
Deploy and host infra on your terms with support for hybrid and multi-cloud deployments.
-
Provision API gateway, event gateway, and service mesh deployments to fully govern all enterprise connectivity.

## 02/ Control plane groups

-
Manage and observe all your control plane configurations in one place.
-
Enforce global policies across control plane groups so that all gateway deployments leverage best practices.

-
Define gateway security standards through automated policy and plugin enforcement.
-
Enforce security at the user management level in Konnect with role-based access control (RBAC) to specific control planes.
-
Build your security posture with a wide array of security-focused Kong plugins, including JSON threat protection, OPA, injection protection, IP restriction, and more.

-
Leverage OpenTelemetry for real-time, contextual analytics.
-
View analytics from everything to org-wide performance to API-specific latency.
-
Debug API and upstream service communication through active tracing.
