Talk tech with tips and tutorials from builders at Kong and the Kong Community.
The rise of intelligent agents and AI prompts is transforming APIs from mere infrastructure into the capability ecosystem of the agentic era, driving a new model of ecosystem-led growth . To prepare for the inevitable explosion of agent-driven API traffic, enterprises are prioritizing a strategic…
"Too much information running through my brain." When The Police sang this opening line on their 1981 album Ghost in the Machine , they weren't thinking about artificial intelligence, but the sentiment perfectly captures the state of modern AI. The song warns of an overload of data that parallels…
The integration of next-generation AI workloads — from large language models (LLMs) to speech-to-text and text-to-speech — demands a powerful, secure, and scalable infrastructure. This is especially true for building advanced AI voice agents, which rely on seamless, natural, and highly efficient…
The Kubernetes networking landscape is evolving, and recent announcements confirm a significant community shift. The Kubernetes community recently announced the upcoming retirement of one of its most widely used components: Ingress NGINX "To prioritize the safety and security of the ecosystem,…
In January 2025, the OAuth 2.0 Security Best Current Practice became RFC 9700 ( RFC 9700 - Best Current Practice for OAuth 2.0 Security ). This technical milestone symbolizes a broader transformation. APIs are no longer just developer tools – they're regulated infrastructure powering everything…
In this post, Kong Champion Sachin Ghumbre shares his journey of transforming a complex GenAI application from a state of operational challenges to streamlined control. Discover how Kong AI Gateway provided the enterprise-grade governance needed to secure, optimize, and scale his GenAI solution,…
The Challenge : API calls make up a massive 71% of all web traffic, yet many organizations still rely on traditional security tools designed for monolithic architectures. The Risk : Organizations face an average of 421 APIs to manage, with machine learning discovering 30.7% more API endpoints than…
In this blog post, we'll talk about the significant challenge of managing and governing a growing number of APIs across multiple teams in an organization — and how Control Plane Groups are a clear solution to avoid the chaos of inconsistent policies and operational bottlenecks. Scaling your API…
Meet Emily. She’s an API product manager at ACME, Inc., an ecommerce company that runs on dozens of APIs. One morning, her team lead asks a simple question: “Who’s our top API consumer, and which of your APIs are causing the most issues right now?” For Emily, that’s not a simple question at all.…
The healthcare industry is buzzing about FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources). Pronounced “fire,” this widely adopted data standard has been revolutionizing how healthcare information is exchanged. But building a truly modern, secure, and scalable digital health platform takes more…
Behind every smooth user experience is a maze of APIs quietly handling requests, responses, and data flows. This makes APIs critical connectors that enable applications to communicate and share data seamlessly. When these vital conduits fail, the consequences can be severe—system outages, data…
As enterprises increasingly embed AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) into their digital experiences, enforcing robust AI guardrails becomes paramount to safeguard users, protect data, manage operational costs, and comply with regulatory and ethical standards. Think of AI guardrails as essential…
Picture this: you’re in the zone — debugging logic, writing endpoints, testing integrations. But suddenly you’re yanked out of flow: copy pasting cURL commands, flipping between environments, chasing down the right API keys, and juggling half a dozen tools just to make a simple change. It’s clunky…
Organizations are going all-in on large language models (LLMs), with research finding 72% anticipate increased LLM spending in the coming year (and about 40% are already investing more than $250,000 USD per year). As enterprises rapidly adopt LLMs to transform customer experiences, automate…
In the last two parts of this series, we discussed How to Strengthen a ReAct AI Agent with Kong AI Gateway and How to Build a Single-LLM AI Agent with Kong AI Gateway and LangGraph . In this third and final part, we're going to evolve the AI Agent with multiple LLMs and Semantic…
