Migrations aren’t easy, but they’re worth it

And we make it much easier.

Whether you’re looking to leave your legacy solution because of security and business continuity risks, lack of support for modern connectivity patterns, or you’re simply tired of the customer experience issues related to poor performance, Kong can help you make the switch.

Do you really need to leave your legacy API management tool?

You might be unaware of the pain — and the cost

Cost and performance issues can often go unnoticed. We’ll help you take a look at your toolchain costs and find every area where migration to a modern platform can help you cut and avoid costs.

Connectivity requirements are changing

Legacy API management won’t help you govern and control AI consumption and costs. It won’t help you make the move to microservices. And it can’t help you drive maximum event streaming ROI. Kong Konnect can.

Security and business continuity are at risk

Don’t risk your security and business continuity postures on legacy authorization and an inability to standardize best practices across a fragmented, legacy tooling ecosystem.
