### Legacy API Management

Modern API and AI Platform

- Continuously tethered to a single vendor's ecosystem
- A growing tangle of gateways, each with its own rulebook
- Designed for yesterday's apps, not today's AI agents
- Operates in seconds, not milliseconds

- Run it where you want, on your terms
- Consistent control wherever your gateways run
- APIs, AI, and events — all on a single platform
- Handles the volume and complexity of agentic AI

**Some platforms make you compromise. This one doesn’t.**

### No cloud lock-in
Kong runs across AWS, Azure, GCP, on-prem, and hybrid environments. Same features, same governance everywhere. Choose your clouds and regions. The control plane isn't tied to any of them.

### Consistent governance everywhere you run
Same policies, authentication standards, and operational model wherever your workloads run. No gaps. No rebuilds. No exceptions.

### Own the full AI data path in one runtime
REST APIs, LLM traffic, MCP calls, A2A communication, Kafka streams — one control plane, policy engine, dev portal, and observability stack. Only Kong ships it natively.

### Handle the traffic legacy gateways can't
Sub-millisecond latency under high throughput with built-in observability, so you find problems before users do. No tuning workarounds. No inherited architectural ceilings.
