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.
