Kong Inc. celebrated a significant year marked by hypergrowth, community expansion, and global recognition, highlighted by the technology's impact and adoption as the leading open source API gateway. The company reached over 30,000 stars on GitHub, more than 257 million downloads, and doubled its OSS community size, emphasizing the pivotal decision to focus entirely on their open source project after selling the Mashape API marketplace. Despite global challenges, Kong's team nearly doubled and was acknowledged as a Great Place to Work, while the company's revenue growth led to inclusion in Forbes' Cloud 100 and Deloitte's Technology Fast 500. With a $100 million series D funding round tripling its valuation to $1.4 billion, Kong furthered its market operations and was recognized as a Leader in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Full Lifecycle API Management. The introduction of Kong Konnect, including the Konnect Plus plan, expanded service connectivity and accessibility, especially in Europe and Asia-Pacific. The company also successfully hosted its first virtual Kong Summit and looks forward to Kong Summit 2021, reflecting the strong support from its vast community of users and enterprise customers.
