Kong Launches Volcano, Unified AI-Native Infrastructure Platform

San Francisco – September 30, 2026 -- Kong Inc. has launched Volcano, an AI-native platform that consolidates durable compute, branchable databases, file storage, authentication and real-time services into a single developer environment for building and deploying AI agents and web applications.

Kong unifies fragmented AI infrastructure into one platform

Volcano addresses a core pain point for developers building AI agents: assembling separate providers for compute, databases, authentication, storage and observability, each with distinct configuration, billing and failure modes. Marco Palladino, CTO and co-founder of Kong Inc., said the platform lets teams move from a single prompt to a production-ready agent, removing the need to stitch together infrastructure manually.
