Get Started with the Konnect Platform

Kong Konnect is a versatile platform. To get started, choose your deployment type:

  • Konnect Cloud deployment: Let Kong host the control plane and you only need to provide the data plane node. Spin up a simple Kong Gateway runtime with Docker, create a service, and implement it in minutes. See the Konnect Cloud quickstart guide to get started.

  • Self-managed deployment: Install Kong Gateway, then use the Kong Gateway guide for a detailed walkthrough of foundational API gateway concepts, features, and capabilities.

    • For a traditional deployment, see the Kong gateway installation guides.
    • For a hybrid mode deployment, use the hybrid mode post-installation instructions.
    • Once everything is installed, check out the self-managed getting started guide.
Thank you for your feedback.
