Case Study: Sky Italia boosts API performance 70% with Kong Konnect
Key results
The challenge
Sky Italia needed a centralized platform to standardize and manage its APIs while scaling to a microservice architecture without compromising efficiency, cost, or latency.
The solution
Sky Italia implemented Kong Konnect and Kong Gateway Enterprise in hybrid mode across cloud and on-prem, combined with AWS EKS for Kubernetes management, an AWS managed observability stack, and an APIOps methodology built on DevOps and GitOps processes.
“Now that we have a centralized platform and process for designing, building, and managing our API lifecycle, we have been able to change our entire company's mindset around APIs.”
