Overview
Kong builds API connectivity software, starting with the widely deployed open-source Kong Gateway and extending into a service mesh, an ingress controller and an AI gateway that governs traffic to language models. Its platform handles authentication, rate limiting, observability and routing for the interfaces that connect internal services, partners and customers across cloud and on-premise environments. The company began life as the API marketplace Mashape before pivoting to infrastructure, and now sells to large enterprises worldwide.
