Case Study: GCash saves costs and accelerates API learning with Kong Enterprise

GCash saves costs and accelerates learning with Kong Gateway Enterprise

GCash, the leading mobile wallet and fintech platform in the Philippines, needed to scale its infrastructure to support growing users and transactions while maintaining reliability, security, and a more mature API posture. After years of using Kong Gateway Community Edition, the team turned to Kong and its enterprise offering to better support their future architecture and operating model.

With Kong Gateway Enterprise, GCash implemented a decentralized API architecture, enforced consistent security, rate limiting, and access control, and modernized its approach to APIOps and API governance. Working with Kong professional services, the company built a centralized hub for monitoring and governing APIs, reduced redundant APIs, trained more than 40 engineers, and achieved an estimated $70,000 in monthly infrastructure cost savings.
