New AI-native platform gives developers a unified foundation to build, deploy and operate AI agents and modern web applications

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kong Inc., the AI Connectivity Company, today announced Volcano, a new AI-native platform designed to give developers the infrastructure they need to build, deploy and operate AI agents and modern web applications. Volcano brings durable compute, branchable databases, file storage, user authentication, and real-time services together in one developer-friendly platform, providing a unified foundation for the AI era. The availability for sandboxing compute will follow shortly after this announcement.

“Volcano allows us to build in the AI era with a platform that is truly ‘batteries included,'” said Marco Palladino, CTO and co-founder, Kong Inc. “Developers shouldn’t have to stitch together infrastructure to turn an AI agent into a production application. We’re bringing those capabilities together in one platform so developers can focus on building the experiences and applications of the future, rather than managing the infrastructure underneath them.”

Volcano ships with first class integrations with popular agentic coding tools like Claude Code, OpenAI Codex and Cursor. “With Volcano we can go from zero to running an agent in production in one prompt,” added Palladino.

Building an agent requires more than a model call. Agents need durable compute to execute, databases to remember, authentication to safely interact with users, storage to access files, workflows to coordinate tasks and observability to understand what is happening in production. Today, most developers assemble those pieces from separate providers, each with its own configuration, billing and failure modes. Volcano brings them together in one unified platform so teams can build applications and agents without needing to piece together infrastructure from multiple providers, thus greatly reducing complexity.

Key features include:

Durable workflows and jobs: Create durable workflows for agents and applications, schedule jobs and ensure execution with built-in leader election.Branchable PostgreSQL databases: Provision PostgreSQL databases in seconds, with built-in backups and vector support for AI workloads, including branches.Edge Functions: Run code and AI agents at the edge across multiple regions and languages, with built-in autoscaling and geofencing for data-sensitive workloads.Frontend hosting: Deploy Next.js applications globally through Volcano’s CDN, with built-in DDoS protection for agents and applications that need a UI.Authentication and SSO as a service: Add authentication to applications and agents with unlimited users and monthly active users, third-party SSO support, and anonymous signups built in.Real-time services: Listen for database events and coordinate applications and agents through real-time messaging, broadcast and presence tracking. Also useful for multi-agent coordination in real-time.Global file storage: Store application and agent files on Volcano’s global CDN with configurable access policies.Locks, Queues and Human Approvals: Build single and multi-crew agents with advanced coordination and processing with optional human approvals where needed.

Volcano is compatible with the broader Kong Konnect platform, for enterprise governance at scale of AI agents and AI connectivity.

Through Volcano, Kong will continue expanding its cloud services for developers and AI builders, with additional capabilities planned across compute, data, application services and agent infrastructure.
