Established

Kong Gateway helps platform engineers, architects, and developers manage and secure all their APIs, AI traffic, and Microservices Communication Protocol (MCP) interactions. It takes your existing services and AI models and provides advanced routing, load balancing, authentication, and security features. You get a central layer for orchestrating traffic, ensuring reliable and secure communication across your entire ecosystem.

42,944 stars.

Use this if you need a centralized system to control, secure, and monitor the flow of data between your various services, APIs, and AI models, especially in a cloud-native or microservices environment.

Not ideal if you only manage a single, simple API endpoint and don't require advanced traffic management, security, or AI orchestration capabilities.
