Case Study: Kong achieves zero outages and continuous software distribution with Cloudsmith

How API giant Kong went from rocky, resource-intense software delivery to flawless distribution with Cloudsmith

Kong, a provider of full-lifecycle API management, faced significant challenges with its previous on-premises software distribution solution, which required a heavy operational burden and resulted in frequent outages. These issues threatened the reliability of their service for over 40,000 customers and impeded their ability to innovate. To resolve these difficulties, Kong turned to Cloudsmith for its fully-managed software distribution solution.

By implementing Cloudsmith, Kong eliminated its distribution problems entirely. The solution delivered zero outages, saved the company six figures by reallocating three senior engineers, and now handles over 21,000 package downloads per month seamlessly. Cloudsmith provided Kong with a robust, scalable, and highly reliable distribution platform that is now a core part of their DevOps toolkit.
