Kong Inc., a leading developer of API and AI connectivity technologies, announced that Solace, the real-time data and agentic AI company, has joined Kong’s Premium Technology Partner Program. Together, Kong and Solace will deliver a unified, governed, and fully observable data fabric for the agentic era enabling teams to manage APIs, events, and AI services through a single control plane.
Modern organizations face mounting pressure to innovate rapidly while enforcing consistent security, governance, and compliance policies across APIs, events, and AI services. Agentic AI systems rely on real-time, contextual data flowing seamlessly across business operations. As APIs and event streams are often managed in siloed systems, governance blind spots are created, slowing deployment cycles and increasing operational risk.
By combining Solace’s real-time data movement with Kong’s API and AI connectivity, teams can now manage and govern APIs, events, Large Language Models (LLM), and MCP servers through a single control plane applying consistent lifecycles, policies, authentication, and access controls across the entire data path. Solace delivers high-performance real-time data movement, event governance, and event-driven agentic AI orchestration. Conversely, Kong provides centralized API management, security enforcement, observability, and AI gateway capabilities through the combination of native protocol gateways in Kong Event Gateway and a REST-like interface in Kong API Gateway. The result is all data interactions from event streams to APIs to AI service calls can be consolidated into one easy-to-manage, fully visible platform.

“Event-driven and API-driven architectures are no longer separate concerns,” said Ken Kim, Senior Vice President, Business Development at Kong Inc. “By bringing Kong and Solace together under a unified control plane, customers gain centralized governance, consistent security policies, and end-to-end observability across every data interaction — from REST APIs to streaming events to AI agent calls. This is essential for organizations scaling in the agentic era.”
“Real‑time data is the lifeblood of modern, agentic AI,” said Shawn McAllister, CPO and CTO at Solace. “Together with Kong, Solace is removing the silos between events, APIs, and AI services that slow down modern organizations, helping to accelerate innovation and empower teams to confidently scale their real-time, AI-ready platforms.”
