Quickstart guide

New to Konnect Cloud? Get started with the basics through the web app:

  1. Set up a runtime connection:

    Set up a runtime and connect it to your account. Your first runtime connection gives you a data plane for proxying traffic.

    Start with a data plane proxy so that when your service configuration is ready, your services are immediately connected, configured, and available for testing.

    Set up a runtime connection >

  2. Create a service:

    Catalog a new service using the Konnect ServiceHub.

    Using ServiceHub, you can catalog, manage, and track every service in your entire architecture. In this step, you create the first version of a service, adding the first entry to your catalog.

    Create a service >

  3. Implement the new service:

    Attach the new Konnect service to an upstream service and define a route.

    After you’ve configured a service and the runtime proxy is ready, testing is the next step. Here you set up a route to a mocking API service, then proxy traffic through the route.

    Implement the service >

Get started with declarative config

You can manage entities in your Konnect Cloud org using configuration files instead of the GUI or admin API commands. With decK, Kong’s declarative configuration management tool, you can create, update, compare, and synchronize configuration as part of an automation pipeline.

Manage configuration with decK >
