About Kong Konnect
Kong Konnect is a comprehensive API management platform that enables organizations to build, run, discover, govern, and monetize their APIs, AI connectivity, and event streaming infrastructure. The platform serves as a unified control layer for managing API gateways, AI gateways, MCP servers, and real-time data feeds, helping enterprises eliminate fragmentation and accelerate AI innovation at scale.
-
API Gateway provides enterprise-grade performance for building, securing, and managing REST, HTTP, WebSocket, gRPC, and GraphQL APIs with high availability and scalability across cloud, on-premises, or hybrid deployments.
-
AI Gateway enables organizations to build a unified, secure, and cost-effective multi-LLM interface for AI agents and MCP servers to interact with large language models across the enterprise.
-
Developer Portal makes it easy for developers and AI agents to discover, access, and consume APIs as self-service, reusable assets with built-in documentation and onboarding workflows.
-
Service Catalog provides centralized visibility and governance over all API services, enabling teams to track, manage, and maintain consistency across their API ecosystem.
-
Advanced Analytics delivers deep insights into API traffic, performance metrics, and usage patterns with 14-month data retention for comprehensive observability.
-
Metering and Billing allows organizations to monetize APIs, MCP servers, LLM APIs, and event data with usage-based pricing models and revenue tracking.
-
CI/CD Integration automates the entire API lifecycle as part of GitOps and Infrastructure-as-Code strategies, enabling shift-left security practices.
-
Runtime Management provides centralized control over serverless, hybrid, and dedicated cloud gateways across multiple regions and cloud providers including AWS, GCP, and Azure.
To get started, sign up for a free 30-day trial with full enterprise functionality, no credit card required. The platform supports deployment anywhere—cloud, on-premises, or hybrid—and integrates with existing CI/CD pipelines and observability tools through OpenTelemetry support.
