Kong is the cloud native API platform with the fastest, most adopted API gateway in the world. Loved by developers, Kong helps startups and Fortune 500 companies bring solutions to market faster with API and service connectivity that scales easily and securely. Leading organizations across all industries are using Kong today to help them modernize their tech stacks, adopt new technologies and meet customer demand quickly through APIs.

Goals

The world’s most sensitive and critical traffic volumes run on Kong. Why? With battle-tested open source technology and enterprise-grade solutions and support, Kong is the most trusted and performant cloud native API platform for the modern tech stack.

Kong's goal is to help its community and customers to stay at the forefront of technology and innovation.

And since Kong is cloud-, protocol- and language-agnostic, its products work seamlessly with emerging and legacy technologies. That’s why developers building modern enterprises find success in Kong.

Solution

Kong uses FlyCode on its applications to allow content writers and the product team to edit text across applications without a developer in the loop. Content consistency and speed of delivery are core to the company’s product experience.

The team at Kong was able to connect FlyCode to their GitHub organization instantly with no integration.

The team uses FlyCode for texts that are hard-coded in their code and texts managed in translation files to ship products faster and better serve their users.

Results

For each change made with FlyCode, Kong estimates that it is saving around 2.5 hours of Kong’s Product and Engineering teams on collaboration, changing texts, approving the changes and creating the pull requests to push the changes. As a result, the company has been able to save dozens of development hours every month for content changes across all applications with Flycode

"At Kong we love to collaborate and iterate very fast. FlyCode is enabling our product and design teams to collaborate on text changes and proposed code changes. Then our CICD automation deploys to dev and production all without needing engineering help. It has been great working together with the Flycode team and we are looking forward to continuing working closely together.”

Testimonial by Wanny Morellato, Senior Director Of Engineering

“FlyCode is a slam dunk to solve one of the most annoying logistical items for our work with Partners and Clients — copy changes on apps we are launching for them. Since getting access to FlyCode, I have now felt more confident in several new projects knowing that we have one item to install, and then our product marketing teams can have unlimited freedom for text changes on our web apps with no-code (or distractions) for our engineers. We are excited to see what other pain points they will solve for the items that annoy our product and engineering teams, and torture our backlogs.”

"At Codewave we have self managed and cross-functional teams who work on customer projects. Thanks to Fly-code it's become super easy for our non tech teams to collaborate on text / image changes which can directly be deployed to staging / production without any dev intervention. In Fact we are now bringing in the customer teams into the loop so there's more collaboration and we all are working as one team!"

We built our localization feature on top of Flycode to simplify the translator’s workflow; their proficiency is absolute proof that this company means business. They went the extra mile helping us during the integration phase. Thanks, Flycode; you guys rock.”
