Today at KubeCon, we announced the launch of Kong Cloud – a fully managed version of Kong Enterprise designed to accelerate large organizations’ digital transformation initiatives. With Kong Cloud, customers can instantly start building cloud native services and connect all their services across different environments, vendors and platforms.
By 2022, IDC predicts that “90% of all new apps will feature microservice architectures” and that “35% of all production apps will be cloud native.” This seismic shift imposes new API requirements, and leveraging an API platform that can support modern enterprise architectures is now mission critical. To address this, Kong Cloud provides large organizations with a frictionless way to rapidly adopt the Kong Enterprise platform at scale.
Along with Kong Enterprise’s robust and battle-tested functionality, Kong Cloud brings several operational and strategic benefits for large organizations. Below, we highlight some of the core advantages of using Kong Cloud:
Achieve Cloud-Scale
