The service is available in three tiers: Free, which allows developers to try out the product; Plus with a freemium model and a pay-as-you-go, credit card-based option; and Enterprise for organizations that want to use the platform as a whole.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOne day, we will look back in amazement to realize that developers were spending a lot of time building the plumbing, and writing the networking and security code for each service on each platform. Automated cloud connectivity is inevitable \u2013 from gateway to service mesh across every cloud, Kubernetes and VMs \u2013 and market-leading companies already know this and are offloading this function so that their top talent can focus on application design and feature development so they can continue to outpace the competition,\u201d Palladino added.<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kong announced the general availability of its cloud-native, connectivity platform Kong Konnect with new features to enable reliable, secure and observable connectivity across microservices and APIs.
