Enterprises today manage thousands of APIs — and that number is growing fast. But APIs are no longer the only traffic flowing through your infrastructure. AI is adding entirely new categories of traffic: LLM calls to large language models, MCP requests that let AI agents access tools and data…
TL;DR: To get started for free, click here . Before you dig in, you may… In the last few years, Insomnia has reaffirmed its commitment to allowing developers to own their own tools, their workflows, and their data. With Insomnia 12.6, we’re taking this a step further: your collections and…
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…
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…
This is part of a three-part series. For the full story, see Building the Agentic Commit Log and The Case for Kafka as the Agent's Memory Layer . 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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
As organizations transition from experimental AI to production-grade systems, they often face a fragmented landscape of unmanaged LLM providers, complex tool integrations, and escalating security risks. Without a centralized orchestration layer, developers struggle to maintain consistent…
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…
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…
