Case Study: Marco Polo Network accelerates trade finance platform development with Kong

Marco Polo Network Partners with Kong to Bolster Its Trade Finance Platform

Marco Polo Network, a blockchain-enabled trade and supply chain finance provider, needed to scale its global platform into new markets while supporting hundreds of thousands of independent nodes and millions of transactions. To move to an API-first architecture and reduce operational complexity, the company chose Kong Enterprise as its API gateway and service connectivity platform.

Using Kong, Marco Polo Network was able to deploy services across cloud and identity provider environments, simplify Kubernetes-based operations, and support customer-specific integration patterns more flexibly. The results were significant: development accelerated by 75%, integration projects that took four weeks were reduced to one week, and deployment across integration patterns was 20% faster, while also enabling support for 100% of customers.
