Get insights from leaders changing business through API innovation.
We want our engineering teams to move fast and be agile, yet many organizations confuse ownership of the infrastructure with ownership of the policies. The latter is what engineering teams want to rapidly iterate and develop their APIs. The former is the responsibility of the platform team. In this…
As API adoption continues, early autonomy incentives often have led to shadow IT and infrastructure sprawl. To secure our growing API attack surface, technology leaders must implement organizational accountability through security oversight, platform observability, and role clarity. Establishing…

APIs have become a crucial part of modern software architecture, allowing different applications and services to communicate with each other. As organizations adopt microservices and distribute their systems, they require a cohesive API platform to manage these complex environments. In this blog…
Over the last ten years, Kongers have witnessed hundreds of companies adopting a full lifecycle API management platform and have been working with the people behind the scenes, the “API tribes.” We’ve also learned from the field that API tribes most often have to deal with heterogeneous platforms,…
Whether ordering groceries online, checking your bank balance, or tracking a delivery, APIs are behind the scenes making it all possible. They're the backbone of the digital experiences that drive our interconnected global economy. You may know that. But beyond the convenient (and sometimes…
Everyone’s talking AI — or artificial intelligence. But much of that talk falls into one of two extremes: AI will fix everything or AI will ruin everything. But let’s set aside hyperbolic ideas of AI as a silver bullet for all humanity's potential woes (or darkest timeline visions of Skynet) and…
APIs serve as the foundation for how software systems and services communicate and exchange data. But unmanaged and unsecured APIs can open up massive vulnerabilities that lead to disastrous security breaches and data leaks without proper governance. With API-related attacks increasing — and set…
Organizations today are looking to do more with less. The solution for many? Digital transformation. While digital transformation isn’t a new concept, the benefits of boosting efficiency, controlling costs, and delivering better customer experiences are obvious in today’s topsy-turvy economic…
Modern organizations rely on APIs to power their digital customer experiences. This can lead to stronger brand loyalty and higher revenues — if they play their cards right. The driving factor in delivering personalized content is connectivity to more applications, systems, and data sources. That…
APIs have revolutionized every industry. They fuel digital transformation and power the web, making up more than 83% of global internet traffic. And API adoption will only grow, with AI, Web3 , and decentralization only further driving API usage and integration. But these sometimes-overlooked…
The world of financial services is driven by digital experiences. Over the last 20 years, virtually all banking activities have been taken online (an unfortunate change only for fans of pneumatic tubes and pens on beaded chains). Like other industries that have undergone digital transformation,…
Enterprises are investing in data mesh initiatives to accelerate how decisions are made and to create novel experiences based on machine learning models. Similarly, enterprises are investing in API platform initiatives to productize business domains (or bounded contexts in domain-driven design…
