Case Study: Moderna boosts developer productivity and security with Kong Mesh and Kong Gateway

Moderna’s Nathaniel Reynolds on Service Mesh, Open Source, and AI for Developers

Moderna, a biotechnology company, faced the challenge of building a scalable and highly reliable, security-first platform for its growing number of web applications. Their application teams needed to focus on development rather than managing the underlying connectivity infrastructure, which led them to seek a solution from vendor Kong.

By implementing Kong's open source platform, specifically Kong Gateway and Kong Mesh, Moderna gained a unified solution for API management and service mesh. This provided portable, multi-cloud infrastructure that reduced the technical burden on developers, streamlined their experience, and improved security. The Kong platform allowed Moderna to standardize processes and prepare for future innovations, including utilizing AI and machine learning.
