Kong is a next generation cloud-native API platform for multi-cloud and hybrid organizations. When building for the web, mobile, or Internet of Things, you’ll need a common functionality to run your software, and Kong is that solution. Kong acts as a gateway, connecting microservices requests and APIs natively while also providing load balancing, logging, monitoring, authentication, rate-limiting, and so much more through plugins. Kong is highly extensible as well as platform agnostic, connecting APIs across different environments, platforms and patterns. Achieve architectural freedom with Kong today.
