The unified API platform for
agents
Be ready for whatever the agentic future throws at you.
Kong powers the world's best businesses and most disruptive technologies.
One API platform. Every building block of innovation.
Your path to innovation might run through AI and agentic workflows, API monetization, becoming a real-time business with event-driven architecture, or moving from monolithic architecture to microservices.
With Kong Konnect, build a unified API platform to manage, secure, and govern it all.
For APIs
Enable API producers and consumers to build, run, discover, and govern APIs in a single, self-service platform.
For AI
Equip engineers and AI agents with secure, reliable, and cost-effective access to APIs, LLMs, MCP servers, and real-time data.
For events
Make event streaming infrastructure cost-efficient, productize real-time data, and strengthen your streaming security posture.
For microservices
Enforce consistent, secure service-to-service communication across complex microservices and service mesh deployments.
The API platform is here
Don’t let the chaos of fragmented API ecosystems get in the way
You no longer have to feel the security, business continuity, cost, and developer experience pains of stitching together disparate API tooling to satisfy heterogeneous API ecosystems.
Konnect gives engineering teams everything they need to build, run, discover, and govern the APIs and services that drive the API, AI, event streaming, and microservices innovation required in the agentic era.
Why Kong?
It’s time to build a unified API platform. It’s time to innovate.
AI value is made real when exposed as governed API services. Events and real-time data become data products when packaged as self-serve APIs. Microservices only work when service-to-service communication is driven by scalable, secure APIs. And your move to hybrid and multi-cloud architectures is really a move to elegant, connected API infrastructure. These outcomes aren’t possible without the right platform — discover why Kong is the right choice.
But don’t just trust us. Trust our customers.
