G2 Ranks Kong #1 for API Management and API Development
Read about how Kong is the highest-rated API management tool by G2 users.
Consolidate API use cases and cut costs with a unified API platform
Drive API program cost and time efficiencies through platform unification
Simplify, modernize, and future-proof your API tech stack
Drive financial and operational efficiency with a platform that unifies API, AI, eventing, and microservices connectivity.
What’s the cost advantage of an all-in-one API platform?
Reduce API tooling costs
Reduce your API tech stack costs by eliminating redundant vendor and/or custom, in-house tooling.
Avoid costs from security and resilience issues
Enforce security and business continuity best practices across every point of connectivity with a single platform and single approach to automated enforcement.
Improve developer productivity
Equip your developers with everything they need to build, run, discover, and govern APIs — all in a unified self-service platform.
Innovate faster
Capture maximum innovation potential by turning APIs, AI, LLMs, agents, microservices, and events into innovative product and customer experiences — all with one platform.
Drive a cohesive, cost-efficient, and secure API strategy
Maximize engineering efficiency & API cost savings
Drive cost and time efficiencies by giving engineers a single place to go to govern API, AI, event streaming, and microservices connectivity.
Streamline and standardize API operations
Set up self-serve paved roads for everything from API development and testing, to security and resilience, to consumption and monetization. Every hour saved with an automated, self-serve approach means costs saved and faster time to market for the business.
Control AI, LLM, and agentic AI cost structures
Enforce consumption limits and cost controls across the entire AI stack — from the MCP server, to the LLM, to the various APIs and tools being called — all in one platform.
Choose the right platform for now and the future
Your path to disruption might run through AI productization, API monetization, becoming a real-time business with event-driven architecture, or moving from monolithic architecture to microservices.
Either way, you’ll have an innovation-ready platform that’s ready to support new API use cases when you need them.
Kong will meet you where you are
At first glance, developer autonomy and platform consolidation may seem inherently at odds. But they don’t have to be. Whether you take a top-down or bottoms-up approach to consolidation, there are ways to drive unification of the platform and top-notch developer experiences.
