The Platform Enterprises Need to Compete? Kong Already Built It

Gartner's recent report discusses the emergence of the "context economy," where the competitive advantage in AI is shifting from data access to context access, and predicts that by 2029, half of software application providers will need to share their context layer externally. Kong CEO Augusto Marietti expands on this by emphasizing Kong's alignment with Gartner's recommendations, highlighting their platform's ability to govern, route, and manage AI, API, and event-driven contexts. Kong's infrastructure, including AI Gateway and Konnect MCP Registry, facilitates the discoverability and governance of context, enabling enterprises to monetize and orchestrate context across systems without security or governance gaps. Kong's platform offers a comprehensive solution for enterprises to thrive in the context economy by integrating the management of API, event, and AI-native protocols, coupled with a robust monetization model through Konnect Metering & Billing. This positions Kong as a unique provider capable of transforming context delivery into a profitable venture, addressing both security and operational challenges that enterprises face when opening their context layers to external access.
