Read up on what’s new and what's next in Kong’s latest product releases.
Before we jump in… When you’re building an MCP server that provides tools, resources, or prompts that AI agents can consume, you’ll need to verify that: In Insomnia 12, we’re bringing the same collaboration and confidence to MCP development that Insomnia already provides for APIs. As agentic AI…
Built for developers We’ve taken the best parts of Terraform, deck, the AWS CLI, and more of your favorite tools and combined them into something that’s really special. kongctl takes inspiration from the AWS CLI, with support for profiles. Profiles are configuration sets that allow you to easily sw…
Today, we're open-sourcing Volcano SDK, a TypeScript SDK for building AI agents that combines LLM reasoning with real-world actions through MCP tools. Why Volcano SDK? One reason: because 9 lines of code are faster to write and easier to manage than 100+ . Without Volcano SDK? You'd need 100+ lines…
Data might be the fuel for AI. But APIs are the proper way to package that “fuel” as AI-ready “food” is through the API. AI coding tools can do a lot without APIs, but at some point they’ll need to be able to: . . . and all ideally without the engineer having to…
The solution landscape is complicated by the fact that MCP is still finding its footing, and there are many various OSS projects and vendors that are rapidly shipping “MCP support” in an attempt to take advantage of the hype and attention around MCP. Unfortunately, many early attempts at solutions…
Picture this: you’ve spent months building a slick API that developers love, and it’s already humming behind the scenes in production. But every time someone calls your endpoint, what happens? You get an invisible hit across multiple cost centers, including expensive LLMs, without a clear line of…
Building trust starts with small things, like making sure every commit tells the right story. That’s where Insomnia’s v12 AI Commit capability comes in. Developers want to write code. It’s what they’re good at and what they enjoy doing. But writing detailed, well-structured commit messages takes…
Different teams, different preferences API orchestration at the gateway layer can involve coordinating multiple services, transforming data, and managing request flows. Some teams prefer working directly with configuration files — they appreciate the precision, version control integration, and…
Simplified controller configuration When using the Kong Ingress Controller, a significant amount of effort was needed to apply configuration to the controller by setting environment variables. The new ControlPlane resource greatly simplifies this and allows you to set configuration once at the…
As of September 2025, Kong Gateway Enterprise 3.8 will enter its End Of Life (EOL) phase and will no longer be fully supported by Kong. Following this, Kong Gateway Enterprise 3.8 will enter a 12-month sunset support period, focused on helping customers upgrade to a current version of Kong Gateway…
We're very excited to announce Kong Mesh 2.12 to the world! Kong Mesh 2.12 delivers two very important features: SPIFFE / SPIRE support, which provides enterprise-class workload identity and trust models for your mesh, as well as a consistent Kuma Resource Identifier (KRI) naming convention for…
To unlock Kubernetes’ full potential, many enterprises are relying on three key building blocks available in Kong Konnect today: Together, these components extend Kubernetes from being just a container orchestration platform. They lay the foundation for Kubernetes to support the exposure,…
Modern enterprises are embracing multi-cloud strategies to avoid vendor lock-in, optimize costs, and ensure resilience. Yet managing API infrastructure (which also happens to be AI infrastructure) across multiple cloud providers while maintaining performance and simplicity remains a significant…
It’s been almost a year since we released our Konnect Terraform provider . In that time we’ve seen over 300,000 installs, have 1.7 times as many resources available, and have expanded the provider to include data sources to enable federated management of your Konnect organization. There have been…
If you build APIs, you’ve probably been in two kinds of conversations. One is the war room, where the team is chasing a latency spike, an outage, or a sudden drop in traffic. The other is the boardroom, where you need to show how the platform is performing, which APIs are growing, and whether…
We're excited to announce the general availability of Konnect Debugger, formerly known as Active Tracing during its tech preview phase. This powerful debugging and observability solution in Kong Konnect has evolved from a focused tracing tool into a comprehensive debugging platform. Konnect Debugge…
Secure your AI infrastructure with prompt guards, PII sanitization, and centralized governance. Control LLM costs with token-based rate limiting and semantic routing across providers.
