# Kong Volcano is the unified AI stack for building, deploying and governing autonomous agents

This keynote focuses on the AI transformation of modern businesses and Kong’s response: a new agentic infrastructure platform called Volcano. The speaker argues that organizations are moving from chasing model intelligence to figuring out how to deploy, govern, and scale agents across functions such as engineering, sales, support, IT, legal, and HR, and says older cloud and microservices playbooks are not enough for that shift. Kong positions Volcano as the AI stack for building agents, with capabilities including durable workflows, checkpointing and resume, branchable Postgres storage, hosted user interfaces, identity and enterprise SSO integration, observability, scheduling, and governance compatibility with Kong Konnect and AI Gateway. A live demo shows an agentic app running entirely on Volcano, including front end, database, identity, workflows, logs, and live deployment changes, with the broader message that unified infrastructure helps teams build multi-agent systems faster and focus on business outcomes.
