At Kong, we fully agree with Gartner’s recent reporting on the emerging marketing of AI FInOps tools. AI FinOps must not be an afterthought but should be a critical and mandatory component for any enterprise AI program. The explosive growth of AI workloads from simple AI-assisted coding to product…
TL;DR: Kong Insomnia 13.4 is all about giving you more visibility than ever before. Whether it's your git changes, your secrets, or how your users are using Insomnia, you’re able to see more than ever before and make better decisions than ever. We’ve gotten great feedback on the native git support…
Today ServiceNow launched the ServiceNow Control Tower Alliance , and Kong is proud to be a founding member to help enterprises put AI to work safely, at scale. It's a milestone for Kong, and we think it's an important moment for the industry. Here's what the alliance is, why it matters, and why we…
When an application calls a model provider directly, the service needs the provider's API key, and any control over that traffic has to be built into the service itself. For one service calling one model, that is the right amount of machinery. It holds up less well as the application grows. Every…
Let’s say someone logs in with a real account and a valid token, and your system treats them like any other customer. Then they start changing the invoice number in their requests and reading invoices that belong to other people. That’s a classic case of security breach, but nothing in that story…
KSAI stands for Kong Skills for Agentic Intelligence. It brings AI-assisted code review and implementation into GitHub, where our engineering work is actually done. The AI agents run in CI, so closing a laptop doesn't stop the work. By leveraging KSAI, we establish agentic engineering best…
AI coding tool spend is projected to top $13 billion in 2026, compounding at more than 60% a year. That's an entire category showing up at once, according to the recent Palo Alto Networks' Secure AI Coding report. These agents don't just autocomplete a line of code anymore. They plan. They act.…
That's a wrap on API + AI Summit 2026, Kong's biggest in-person event yet. The event brought together more than 1,000 engineers, architects, and leaders in Los Angeles to discuss running AI systems in production, tackle shared architecture challenges, and swap real-world insights. Couldn’t attend…
Bots make up more than a third of internet traffic, and API endpoints attract more of it than web pages do. Scanners hunting for .env files, credential-stuffing scripts, LLM training crawlers, and the long tail of low-effort probes all hit your gateway before they ever reach a service. Every one of…
As of October 2026, Kong Gateway Enterprise 3.12 will enter its End Of Life (EOL) phase and will no longer be fully supported by Kong. Following this, Kong Gateway Enterprise 3.12 will enter a 12-month sunset support period, focused on helping customers upgrade to a current version of Kong Gateway…
Agentic AI governance is the structured management of the authority an organization hands to autonomous AI systems that plan and take action on its behalf. It covers what an AI agent is allowed to do, which systems it can touch, and how those permissions are monitored, limited, and revoked using…
Standing up a production agent means taking it through six stages: At API & AI Summit, we announced the evolution of Kong Konnect into the AI Connectivity Platform and announced a slate of launches built around that idea. Here's what we launched, where each piece fits, and what you can use today.…
AI infrastructure is changing fast. Enterprises are no longer building around a small set of models exposed through relatively consistent interfaces. New model architectures are emerging (Here’s looking at you Jev!). Providers are introducing new APIs and capabilities. Enterprises are running…
Trace complete AI sessions across models, tools, agents, and infrastructure — and understand where performance, cost, and failures accumulate. Traditional observability was built around requests. A request comes in. A service processes it. A response goes out. You trace what happened in between.…
AI models, agents, and MCP servers are showing up across every team, cloud, and gateway in the enterprise, with no central place platform teams can trust to know what exists. We're announcing the evolution of Kong Catalog (formerly Service Catalog), extending the discovery, documentation,…
