Kong Konnect - Free (Trial)
No-cost entry tier of Kong Konnect, giving developers a limited-scale environment to evaluate the unified API and AI management platform before committing to a paid plan.
Product Description
Overview
Kong Konnect Free is the entry point into Kong's managed SaaS platform, letting a developer or small team try the unified control plane — which can manage Kong Gateway, Kong AI Gateway, Kong Ingress Controller, and Kong Mesh — without payment. It's suitable for small proofs of concept rather than production workloads, given its request and service limits.
Highlights
Provides access to the core Konnect control plane experience, including API configuration, developer portal, and analytics capabilities at limited scale; suitable for evaluating Konnect's unified management model across gateways, ingress controllers, and mesh before scaling to a paid tier; request and service volume are capped well below production-grade thresholds, positioning this strictly as a proof-of-concept tier.
Supported Cloud Infrastructure
Delivered as a cloud-hosted SaaS platform (Konnect control plane hosted by Kong); data planes can run on AWS, GCP, Azure, or on-premises regardless of customer choice.
