Kong's premium technology partners

With Kafka at its core, Confluent offers complete, fully-managed, cloud-native data streaming that’s available everywhere your data and applications reside.

Kong provides integrations with Confluent through two plugins: Confluent and Confluent Consume.

Using the Confluent plugin, you can send HTTP request data to Apache Kafka by constructing Kafka messages from incoming Kong Gateway HTTP requests.

With this plugin, you can:

• Publish messages to Confluent topics
• Set custom timeouts
• Use SASL authentication
• Choose to include or exclude the headers, body, URI, and method of the request in the message

Using the Confluent Consume plugin, Kong Gateway can consume messages from Confluent Cloud Kafka topics and make them available through HTTP endpoints.

With this plugin, you can:

• Consume messages from Confluent topics via HTTP GET requests
• Stream messages using Server-Sent Events
• Set custom timeouts
• Use SASL authentication

Traceable is the industry’s leading API Security company that helps organizations achieve API protection in a cloud-first, API-driven world.

Traceable is the only contextually-informed solution that powers complete API security— security posture management, threat protection and threat management across the entire Software Development Lifecycle— enabling organizations to minimize risk and maximize the value that APIs bring to their customers.

Traceable’s Kong plugin lets Traceable capture a copy of the API traffic that is flowing through Kong Gateway. Using this data, Traceable is able to create a security posture profile of APIs hosted on Kong.

Based on its findings, the Traceable plugin can also block traffic coming from malicious actors and IPs into Kong Gateway.

With Catalog, you gain visibility into all your Traceable services, including unrecognized or undiscovered APIs in your organization.

Using Traceable through the Konnect Catalog, you can manage and secure services that Traceable discovers by analyzing API traffic across your entire application landscape.

Dynatrace provides deep observability, AIOps, and application security in one open, unified platform to continuously deliver precise answers and intelligent automation from data.

Kong Gateway integrates with Dynatrace through Kong’s OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and logging plugins.

Use Kong Gateway’sOpenTelemetry plugin to send signals to the Dynatrace Collector, which is responsible for updating the Dynatrace tenant with Kong Gateway traces, metrics, and logs.

The Dynatrace integration lets you connect Dynatrace classic service-level objects directly to your Catalog services.

Solace enables teams to manage and govern APIs and events through a shared control plane built on Kong and Solace. This allows consistent lifecycle management, policies, authentication, and access controls across all data paths.

Solace provides high-performance real-time data movement, event governance, and orchestration for event-driven agentic AI. Kong complements this with centralized API management, security, observability, and AI governance.

Using the Solace Consume plugin, Kong Gateway can consume messages from a Solace PubSub+ Event Broker and make them available through HTTP endpoints.

With this plugin, you can:

• Securely communicate with Solace using basic and OAuth2 authentication
• Dynamically configure Solace session properties
• Read custom content payloads
• Configure acknowledgement wait times for guaranteed message delivery
• Securely connect to Solace brokers using SSL/TLS

Using the Solace Upstream plugin, Kong Gateway can convert requests (or custom data) into Solace messages and publish them to specified Solace queues or topics.

With this plugin, you can:

• Securely communicate with Solace using basic and OAuth2 authentication
• Dynamically configure Solace session properties
• Configure direct or persistent message delivery
• Transform message content with Lua functions

Using the Solace Log plugin, Kong Gateway can publish request and response logs in JSON format to a Solace endpoint or topic.
