About Kong
Kong delivers an API platform built on the widely adopted open-source Kong Gateway. The platform provides API gateway, service mesh, and API analytics capabilities for organizations managing microservices architectures.
Kong Gateway handles API traffic management including load balancing, rate limiting, authentication, and request transformation. The plugin architecture enables extensibility with 100+ community and enterprise plugins.
Kong Konnect is the managed cloud platform that adds API analytics, developer portals, and centralized management across multiple gateway instances. Service mesh capabilities provide east-west traffic management within Kubernetes clusters.
Kong's architecture is designed for low-latency API processing, handling millions of requests per second with sub-millisecond overhead, making it suitable for performance-critical API infrastructure.
