With the launch of the Cluster of API Experts and Application Modernization led by Alberto Cabrero Hernández, the need arose to conduct a thorough analysis of the API Management tools available in the market. As a result of that study, AXPE Consulting has moved closer to establishing a professional relationship with the Kong brand, one of the leaders in our sector.

What is Kong?

Kong is a cloud-native, open-source API Management platform that enables the management and administration of our API architectures. All of its features have positioned it as one of the most highly regarded API Management products in the market, as reflected in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant.

Why Kong?

It’s hard to list every feature that has driven our desire to partner with Kong, but aside from the exceptional professionalism and communication we’ve observed over the past few weeks, here are some of its key technical capabilities:

• Extensive Plugin Ecosystem: Kong offers a wide array of plugins and additional components that empower developers to extend the basic functionalities of the API Manager.
• Kubernetes-Native Architecture: Its architecture and interfaces are natively built for Kubernetes, allowing for optimal performance across diverse infrastructures.
• Scalability & Flexibility: The platform’s scalability and flexibility make it an ideal solution to adapt systems to the dynamic environment in which we operate.
• High Customizability: Thanks to its open-source nature, Kong provides significant customization capabilities, unlike most similar tools on the market.
• Robust Community Support: An extensive community of users and developers adds substantial value, ensuring continuous innovation and support.

Future of AXPE – Kong

The potential of this new alliance is highly promising, and we anticipate it will serve as a strong foundation for mutual growth. Our clients—both current and future—will be the greatest beneficiaries, as this partnership will allow us to deliver solutions of even higher quality.
