The company has seen rapidly increasing demand for its API platform, particularly from the financial services, e-commerce and government sectors – nearly doubling its UK customer base over the past year.

Its cloud native API platform connects APIs and microservices natively across and within companies’ clouds, Kubernetes container systems, data centres and more.
Carl Mattsson, vice president of EMEA at Kong, commented: “We’re very excited to open our first Kong EMEA office in London. As businesses reopen and begin to embrace face-to-face meetings again, we want to offer our expanding workforce in London a flexible, hybrid work environment where they have a space to work collaboratively as desired, while still having the option to work remotely from home. Opening this office is a natural next step for Kong as we continue our record growth and expansion across not just the UK but Europe as a whole.”
