# Anthropic Acquires Stainless. What's It Mean for AI Connectivity?

[Enterprise](/blog/tag/enterprise)EnterpriseMay 22, 2026

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…

# A Unified Gateway for APIs + Agentic Applications on VMware VKS with Kong Konnect

[Engineering](/blog/tag/engineering)EngineeringMay 20, 2026

Customers today face significant challenges as their Kubernetes environments scale. The proliferation of microservices, external integrations, and new AI workloads increases traffic volume and connectivity complexity, creating material risks to performance and availability. The core issue is a lack…

# Your AI Agent Knows What. It Doesn't Know Why.

[Enterprise](/blog/tag/enterprise)EnterpriseMay 19, 2026

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…

# How to Talk to Your CFO About AI Gateway Metrics

[Enterprise](/blog/tag/enterprise)EnterpriseMay 19, 2026

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…

# What is an MCP Registry? The Centralized Directory for AI Agents

[Learning Center](/blog/tag/learning-center)Learning CenterMay 13, 2026

AI agents are only as capable as the tools they can reach. When an agent needs to query a database, file a support ticket, or pull data from a CRM, it has to find the right tool, authenticate, and invoke it — all at runtime. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes how agents communicate…

# Stop Subsidizing Innovation, Start Monetizing It

[Enterprise](/blog/tag/enterprise)EnterpriseMay 11, 2026

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…

# What Is an MCP Server? Guide to the Model Context Protocol for Enterprise AI

[Learning Center](/blog/tag/learning-center)Learning CenterMay 8, 2026

Key takeaways - An MCP server is a lightweight process that exposes tools, resources, and prompts to AI applications over a standardized protocol. - It acts as the bridge between an LLM-powered client and an external system — a database, API, file system, or SaaS product. - The protocol…

# AI Agent Integration: Gartner Research Confirms Need for AI Control Layer

[Enterprise](/blog/tag/enterprise)EnterpriseMay 8, 2026

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…

# LiteLLM vs Kong: Choosing the Right Enterprise AI Gateway for Production

[Enterprise](/blog/tag/enterprise)EnterpriseMay 7, 2026

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…

# From Kafka Chaos to Control: A Practical Guide to Governing Real-Time Data

[Enterprise](/blog/tag/enterprise)EnterpriseMay 4, 2026

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…

# Building a Secure, Scalable AI Infrastructure with Kong and Akamai: A Technical Introduction

[Engineering](/blog/tag/engineering)EngineeringMay 4, 2026

# Dynamic Kafka ACLs: Implementing Identity-Aware Policies with Kong Event Gateway

[Engineering](/blog/tag/engineering)EngineeringApril 27, 2026

Modern Kafka deployments struggle with a familiar tension. You want fine-grained access control per client, per team, and even per request. However, traditional ACLs force you into static, cluster-level configurations that are brittle, hard to scale, and painful to maintain. Administrators are…

# Salesforce Went Headless, the Rest of the World Must Follow

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…

# Kong A2A and MCP Metrics: Visibility and Governance for AI Tool Adoption at Scale

[Product Releases](/blog/tag/product-releases)Product ReleasesApril 23, 2026

Scaling LLM and agentic AI adoption from pilot programs to enterprise-wide deployments is a massive logistical rollout. As AI and agentic usage grow, so does a nagging question for leadership: Are agents using the right tools to get the job done? While raw infrastructure metrics might tell you if a…
