Get insights from leaders changing business through API innovation.
Every few months, a frontier AI lab makes a move that says the quiet part out loud: agents are only as useful as the systems they can reach. The latest example is Anthropic's acquisition of Stainless, the company behind the tooling that turns API specs into SDKs and MCP servers. Anthropic's own…

There's a reason we don't find our keys by scanning every room like a security camera. We replay the tape. We remember the groceries, the front door, the distraction. We reconstruct the why to find the where . Our brains are commit logs, not snapshots. Most agentic AI systems today work more like…

Your AI infrastructure is producing financial signals your CFO has never seen. Token consumption is a direct cost line item. Cache hit rate is a margin improvement. Model routing decisions are cost arbitrage events. These things are happening right now, in the gateway layer, with no route to the…

GitHub just sent waves of budget panic across its developer base. Seat-based Copilot pricing is out. Consumption-based credits are in. And if you're building an AI-driven product today on flat-rate pricing? You're building a problem into your roadmap. GitHub just announced Copilot plans will shift…

At TDX earlier this month, Salesforce announced Headless 360: every capability in the platform now exposed as an API, MCP tool, or CLI command. Co-founder Parker Harris put the thesis bluntly last month: "Why should you ever log into Salesforce again?" That isn't a marketing question. It's an…

You whipped up a simple MCP server prototype over the weekend. It routed a single AI agent to a few internal tools, your demo impressed leadership, and the team asked the dreaded question: "When can we ship?" You smiled and said, "Give me two weeks." Fast-forward three months . You’re firefighting…

API gateways and service meshes often create confusion in microservices architectures. Rather than competing, they work together, much like a front door lock paired with room-by-room security. Organizations need both to achieve comprehensive protection, because each addresses a different layer of…

Every few weeks, the AI-adjacent internet crowns a new corpse. SaaS is dead. OpenAI is dead. The IDE is dead. Humans writing code is dead. The structure is always the same: take a real observation, strip it of all nuance, and toll the death knell to feed the hype train. Rinse and repeat. The…

Every enterprise moving AI into production is about to face a familiar problem in an unfamiliar form: the cost explosion, but for LLMs. This is very similar to what happened with cloud. In the early days of cloud, teams spun up infrastructure with no visibility into who was consuming what. Finance…

Modern enterprise architecture faces a three-body problem. Three distinct traffic patterns pull your teams in different directions. External APIs serve mobile apps and partner integrations. Internal microservices communicate within Kubernetes clusters. AI and LLM calls flow to OpenAI, AWS Bedrock,…

In the burgeoning intelligence economy, AI tokens are a metered utility, but enterprise profitability now hinges on a critical distinction: output tokens can cost up to 10x more than inputs, creating a new, invisible risk for cost overruns, particularly with Agentic AI. Learn how Kong AI Gateway…
