Kong Konnect SaaS

Kong's hosted control plane

The Konnect SaaS docs provide information about how to manage and deploy Konnect using Kong’s hosted control plane.

Konnect SaaS control plane

Konnect lets you manage multiple runtimes from a single, cloud-based control plane, giving you an overview of all deployed services. You can deploy the runtimes in different environments, data centers, geographies, or zones without needing a local clustered database for each runtime group.
