# API Management as a Central Security Hub

[Enterprise](/blog)EnterpriseSeptember 11, 2025

The myth of the silver bullet The conventional wisdom that API security can be solved with a single tool or approach isn't just misguided — it's dangerous. This mindset has led many organizations down a path of false security, believing that deploying a WAF or implementing authentication provides…

# Is Ambient Mesh the Future of Service Mesh?

[Enterprise](/blog)EnterpriseJune 30, 2025

The word on the street is that ambient mesh is the obvious evolution of service mesh technology — leaner, simpler, and less resource-intensive. But while ambient mesh is an exciting development, the reality is more nuanced. It is more than likely that a sidecar-based mesh is still a better fit for…

[Enterprise](/blog)EnterpriseJune 24, 2025

Kafka delivers massive value for real-time businesses — but that value comes at a cost. As usage grows, so does complexity: more clusters, more topics, more partitions, more ACLs, more custom tooling. But it doesn’t have to be that way. If your team is managing Kafka at scale, here are five…

# 72% Say Enterprise GenAI Spending Going Up in 2025, Study Finds

# How to Create a Platform Cross-Charging Model (and Why Not To Do It)

[Enterprise](/blog)EnterpriseMay 2, 2025

I'm commonly asked by customers for advice on how they can build a good platform cross-charging model for their organization. And my gut reaction is nearly always "don't." We'll come back to why I think that later, but first let's look at what cross-charging means, why you might want it, and how it…

# PII Sanitization Needed for LLMs and Agentic AI is Now Easier to Build

[Enterprise](/blog)EnterpriseApril 2, 2025

LLMs operate as highly capable, non-deterministic pattern matchers.
