Case Study: Rabobank achieves self-service API management and faster deployments with Kong

Rabobank's Journey to Self-Service API Management

Rabobank, a cooperative banking organization in the Netherlands with 8,000+ engineers across 250+ teams, needed to replace an outdated legacy API management platform that could no longer meet its security, vision, and developer experience requirements. The organization looked for a modern alternative to support its growing API estate and self-service goals.

Using Kong’s API gateway and API management platform, Rabobank built a self-service model with centralized governance and distributed team ownership, automating onboarding, deployments, publishing, and compliance checks. Kong helped Rabobank migrate more than 2,000 APIs in about six months, improve deployment speed by up to 10x, increase developer satisfaction and governance, and onboard over 250 teams quickly.
