Kong Launches Volcano to Streamline AI Agent Infrastructure

Building production-grade AI agents currently forces developers to navigate a patchwork of disparate tools for file storage, workflow orchestration, and observability. Each provider introduces unique failure points, billing cycles, and configuration hurdles. Volcano replaces this multi-vendor approach with a unified foundation, allowing engineers to transition from a single prompt to a functional, deployed agent without managing the underlying infrastructure.

"Developers shouldn't have to stitch together infrastructure to turn an AI agent into a production application," said Marco Palladino, CTO and co-founder of Kong. The platform provides first-class support for established coding tools including Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Cursor, while remaining compatible with the broader Kong Konnect suite for enterprise-level governance. Key features include branchable PostgreSQL databases with vector support, global edge functions, and built-in human-in-the-loop coordination for complex multi-agent workflows. This launch marks a significant expansion of Kong’s cloud services, positioning the company to capture the growing market of developers moving beyond simple model calls toward agentic automation.
