Kong Launches New Premium Technology Partner Program
September 12, 2024
Kong unveiled its new Premium Technology Partner Program, a strategic initiative designed to deepen its engagement with technology partners and foster innovation within its cloud and developer ecosystem.
Building on the success of its existing community offerings, the Premium Technology Partner Program is specifically tailored for integrations and plugins that leverage Kong's commercial offerings, primarily Kong Konnect and Kong Gateway Enterprise, ensuring that partners can deliver advanced solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern enterprises. Under this program, premium plugins will undergo validation against Kong's latest software releases, ensuring high-quality, reliable integrations for customers.
Traceable AI, Dynatrace and Confluent will kick off the program and will leverage it to address the common pain points that joint customers face to solve for API security, observability and data streaming use cases. Partners in the Premium Technology Partner Program shared:
"Our Premium Technology Partner Program aims to elevate the quality and reliability of plugins available to Kong customers, enriching the Kong API ecosystem with enterprise-grade solutions that drive greater and faster business value from real-time streaming to restful APIs. The program represents a significant investment in our partner ecosystem and underscores our commitment to delivering the highest quality of integrations to our users," said Augusto Marietti, CEO and co-founder of Kong Inc. "By offering enhanced support and exclusive benefits, we are empowering our partners to innovate and succeed alongside Kong."
Customers will benefit from Kong's expanded developer ecosystem, which will give them access to the latest cutting-edge technologies, more seamless integrations, high-quality support, and enhanced security.
The program also includes a streamlined pathway for community plugins to transition to the premium tier, acknowledging the contributions of existing partners and encouraging continuous improvement and innovation.
New partners will be onboarded to this program over the coming quarters.
