Running Kong in front of your Solace Broker adds real benefits: Imagine an order service that accepts REST requests and publishes them as events. 1. API Consumer calls Kong with a standard POST request: 2. Kong Gateway applies authentication, validates the payload, adds a correlation ID, rate…
For product teams, the long days of lengthy Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) and rigid documentation workflows are giving way to something faster and more dynamic. They’re now using AI to generate prototypes, validate concepts with virtual customers, and move from idea to working software in a…
Executive Summary AI adoption has moved past the "honeymoon phase" and into the "operational chaos" phase. As enterprises juggle multiple LLM providers, skyrocketing token costs, and "Shadow AI" usage, the need for a centralized control plane has become critical. This guide explores how the AI…
Managed Redis cache is a turnkey "Shared State" add-on for Kong Dedicated Cloud Gateways. It is designed to combine the performance of an in-memory data store with the simplicity of a SaaS product. When you spin up a Dedicated Cloud Gateway in Kong Konnect, you can now toggle on Managed Redis with…
Architecture Overview A multicloud DCGW architecture typically contains three main layers. 1\. Konnect Control Plane The SaaS control plane manages configuration, plugins, and policies. All gateways connect securely to this layer. 2\. Dedicated Cloud Gateway Data Planes Each cloud environment ho…
Tool discovery for AI agents In early agent implementations, tools are often statically configured inside the agent. For example: { "mcpServers": { "weatherServer": { "command": "uv", "args": "run", "weather_server.py" ] }, "githubServer": {…
The Shifting Economic Landscape: The AI token economy in 2026 is evolving, and enterprise leaders must distinguish between low-cost input tokens and high-premium output tokens to maintain profitability. Agentic AI Financial Risks: The transition to agentic AI and multi-step reasoning models creates…
Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding and agent harness tool. Unlike traditional code-completion assistants that suggest the next line in an editor, Claude Code operates as an autonomous agent that reads entire codebases, edits files across multiple directories, runs terminal commands, executes…
Many companies start with a single payment provider like Stripe because it’s fast and reliable for self-service subscriptions. However, as OpenAI discovered, as your business needs to support a range of freemium accounts, self-service pro plans, and complex enterprise contracts, a…
We've been all ears. Your workflows clearly told us what mattered most: tabs that adapt to how you actually work, Git commits you can actually understand, and admin controls that don't require a manual to navigate. Insomnia v12.4 discards the friction so you can focus on what’s most important:…
Imagine 47 million requests hitting your platform last month. Can you prove who made each one—and invoice with confidence? If that question tightens your stomach, you're not alone. Metered billing for APIs promises fair, transparent pricing that scales with customer success. But it only works when…
The Gartner report profiles Kong’s Insomnia as “an API development platform that promotes collaboration during development and testing,” a recognition that reflects our commitment to give development teams of any size a purpose-built environment for every stage of the API lifecycle. Beyond the…
SiliconANGLE Media runs this annual awards program to recognize companies, technologies, and people moving the needle in B2B tech. Winners go through a review process by industry analysts and experts. Kong was recognized as the 2026 AI Innovator of the Year for its role in building the connectivity…
The APIs that have been powering websites and apps created a massive market, but there are only up to 8 billion humans consuming them behind pixels. As LLMs are taking over the world — in the form of productized agents first — there will be 100X more machines than humans. The internet built for…
In large organizations, platform architecture tends to be more historical artifact than intentional design. At the foundation of the stack sit monoliths that predate modern API standards; many of them are too risky or too costly to decommission fully. Built on top of them are services that were…
