With Kong, we knew that we would get something that would work perfectly with our technology today and set us up for where we want to go. Kong allows us to deploy on-premise, easily integrates with all the technologies we use across the company and gives us the flexibility we want to avoid vendor lock-in.

Since all regional payment systems were previously monoliths exposing APIs separately, the API gateway was a greenfield project for Verifone. "In moving to microservices, we knew we needed an API gateway."

Hans van Leeuwen , Lead Architect at Verifone

As these integrations scaled up, the addition of a robust API Gateway solution like Kong to our technology stack was a no-brainer.
