Case Study: SKY Brazil achieves 70% reduction in API gateway costs and 99.98% uptime with Kong

SKY Brazil Instills Infrastructure Excellence With Kong Konnect

SKY Brazil, a leading Brazilian pay‑TV provider, needed to modernize its monolithic estate to speed development of new digital channels while avoiding vendor lock‑in and cutting API gateway operational costs. To accelerate cloud migration and Kubernetes adoption, SKY Brazil chose Kong Konnect — leveraging Kong’s API gateway, Kubernetes Ingress Controller and development portal — to govern its microservices transformation.

Kong implemented consistent cross‑cloud governance and visibility, a central development portal for 200+ developers, and containerized traffic management across more than 700 Kubernetes clusters. With Kong, SKY Brazil reduced API gateway operational costs by 70%, cut service discovery time by 90%, and raised uptime from 97% to 99.98%, enabling faster onboarding, better resource allocation, and scalable multi‑channel delivery.
