This is part of a three-part series. For the full story, see Building the Agentic Commit Log and The Case for Kafka as the Agent's Memory Layer . 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…
AI agents move fast. Securing them shouldn't slow you down. Kong and Noma are partnering to change that. Noma is the newest member of Kong's Technology Partner Program . This program delivers high-quality, reliable integrations providing real business value for customers. Together, Kong and Noma…
Legacy API management platforms were built for a different era. They weren't designed for microservices, multi-cloud deployments, or AI workloads. They're expensive, rigid, and hold engineering teams back. The problem is that migration has always felt hard. APIs are load-bearing infrastructure.…
I'm excited to announce that Kong Enterprise, our modern, scalable service connectivity platform, is now available on top cloud marketplaces, including AWS Marketplace and GovCloud (US) regions, Azure Marketplace, Google Cloud Platform, and Red Hat Marketplace! Built on Kong's core open source…
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…
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…
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…
An enterprise AI gateway should provide a centralized point of policy enforcement for routing, governing, securing, and observing artificial intelligence traffic at scale. LiteLLM is one of many AI gateways that can cover the foundational AI connectivity needs teams often start with. For…
Three-quarters of enterprises are now piloting or deploying AI agents. But here’s the problem: actually integrating those agents with enterprise applications is proving to be one of the hardest parts of the whole endeavor. That’s the core finding of a recent Gartner research note, How to Integrate…
Most engineering teams adopt Apache Kafka for one simple reason: it works. It scales effortlessly, it is incredibly reliable, and it powers real-time systems across almost every industry. But as your Kafka usage expands across different teams, regions, and external consumers, success creates a…
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…
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…
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…
For the past several years, there have been murmurs of an incoming convergence between API management and event management. This has been more than a vendor-led phenomenon; industry analysts — such as Gartner and Forrester — see the worlds colliding as well, which is why Gartner mentions event…
Managing Kafka as an island on its own got you this far. But scaling it securely and efficiently across your organization? That's another matter entirely. Apache Kafka is the number-one event streaming platform used by developers and data engineers worldwide to build reliable, scalable real-time…
