Case Study: CMA CGM achieves 1000% more deployments with Kong Konnect

CMA CGM decreased time-to-market with Kong

CMA CGM, the global transportation and logistics company headquartered in Marseille, France, needed a more reliable and scalable API platform to support complex international logistics across internal systems, partners, and customers. As API usage grew, its manual validation and governance process became a bottleneck, stretching API delivery from design to production into a three-month journey.

Using Kong Konnect and an APIOps approach, CMA CGM automated API lifecycle steps, shifted testing and security earlier in the pipeline, and made deployments declarative with built-in monitoring and configuration. With Kong, the company increased deployments by 1000%, went from one production deployment per month to 130 in a month, and reduced API design-to-production time from 3 months to 48 hours while maintaining security and standards.
