We’re excited to announce Kong's unified API lifecycle management platform. Kong Konnect, our cloud API platform, can now manage services from API gateway, Ingress, and service mesh with a hosted control plane that can be implemented across any cloud provider, Kubernetes distribution, or on-premises data centers.

Today at API Summit 2023, we’re launching a revolutionary update to Kong Konnect SaaS that brings together many of the innovations we’ve been developing this last year. This latest version of Kong Konnect is dedicated to visionary and pragmatic developers and customers who are working hard to make their organizations leaders in an API-first world. For the first time ever, the Kong Konnect unified API platform can now bring together all API runtimes under one, single cloud management plane.

REST endpoints that join table data typically allow you to retrieve and combine information from multiple tables or data sources in a single API call. These endpoints enable complex queries and data aggregations, often using JOIN operations, to return a unified dataset, simplifying data retrieval and reducing the need for multiple requests and manual data processing. They are commonly used in database systems and data analytics platforms to efficiently access and manipulate interconnected data.

The growth of APIs continues to drive our digital economy, and API management underpins the success of every modern application and the businesses that depend on their success. Today, we are very excited to announce the release of an essential guide to building and managing next-generation API platforms with GraphQL. Kong and Apollo, as leaders in the respective areas of API management and GraphQL, have partnered to author a thorough technical examination of next-generation API platforms.
