Kong
From APIs to AI, Kong is the fabric of modern connectivity.

Kong is an AI connectivity platform that centralizes LLM access, manages API workflows, and secures digital ecosystems at scale. It provides a unified developer workspace for building and deploying agentic infrastructure, with tools for speed, cost optimization, and risk management. Kong serves enterprises looking to manage multi-modal traffic, enforce access control, and monetize API and AI products.
Kong acts as a centralized gateway layer that routes, secures, monitors, and monetizes every API, LLM, MCP, and event request through pre-built policies and a unified developer workspace.
