Kong Inc. has announced the general availability of the latest update to its Konnect Service Catalog, now featuring native integration with AWS API Gateway. This enhancement enables enterprises to seamlessly discover, visualize, and govern APIs deployed in AWS alongside those managed by Kong and other tools, offering multi-gateway visibility and control under a single pane of glass.
Kong Konnect Service Catalog now integrates natively with AWS API Gateway to unify API discovery.
Automatically discovers and ingests REST APIs from AWS, Kong Gateway, and third-party providers.
Provides a single catalog view essential for human developers and M2M clients like LLMs and AI agents.
Helps reduce duplication, complexity, and friction across API teams and infrastructures.
Extends governance with customizable scorecards for compliance criteria and automatic API assessment.
Enables faster remediation by providing UI-based remediation guidance for APIs missing controls or documentation.
API sprawl across multiple gateways, cloud providers, and distributed teams creates fragmented infrastructure, increasing risks and governance challenges. Kong Konnect Service Catalog addresses this by aggregating APIs from diverse sources into a centralized catalog, breaking down silos to improve developer productivity and enable secure, consistent governance.
The Service Catalog enhances governance capabilities by allowing platform and security teams to define compliance criteria related to authentication, ownership, monitoring, and other metadata. APIs are constantly measured against these standards, with scorecards highlighting non-compliance and offering remediation steps directly within the user interface.
The AWS API Gateway integration uses AWS IAM role delegation to ensure secure, least-privilege access. Configuration requires only a few clicks from within the Konnect Service Catalog. Kong plans further integrations to encompass additional gateways and platforms to expand its agent-ready API infrastructure vision.
