Blockchain SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Kong Inc., a leading developer of cloud API technologies, today announced it has surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue. The company's success is the result of a commitment to product excellence, a laser-focus on the user and customer experience, and the growing popularity of Kong Konnect, its unified cloud API platform, which helps organizations unleash developer productivity and accelerate time to market. Moreover, a significant tailwind to the company's growth has been a decade-long shift in how enterprise software systems are built and deployed, from traditional monolithic applications to modern, distributed cloud native microservices architectures. Additional drivers include mobile apps, Internet of Things (IoT), as well as the adoption and proliferation of Blockchain, Web 3 and a new generation of AI technologies. This transition from "monolithic" software systems, along with the rapid adoption of these new innovations, aligns well with Kong's mission, which is to enable every company to become API-first.
Key Points:
- SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Kong Inc., a leading developer of cloud API technologies, today announced it has surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue.
- So while surpassing $100 million represents an enormous milestone for our business, that vision is just starting to come to pass.
- Most recently, Kong also launched a joint venture with Japan Cloud to support the growing adoption of its platform in Japan, the world's third-largest economy.
- "We're quite happy to have been early investors and partners to the Kong founding team.
