# How We Used Agentic AI to Fix Kong Gateway's Flakiest Tests

[Engineering](/blog/tag/engineering)EngineeringJune 10, 2026

Each change to Kong Gateway's codebase triggers a comprehensive test suite that runs more than 17,000 * 2 = 34,000 test cases among the two primary architectures (x86 and ARM) we support. This process takes about 23.5 hours on a single machine. But we don't wait that long. A large fleet of machines…

# Kong and Persistent: Take the Risk Out of Migration

[Enterprise](/blog/tag/enterprise)EnterpriseJune 9, 2026

Legacy API management platforms were built for a different era. They weren't designed for microservices, multi-cloud deployments, or AI workloads. They're expensive, rigid, and hold engineering teams back. The problem is that migration has always felt hard. APIs are load-bearing infrastructure.…

# 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…

# 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…

# 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…
