Read up on what’s new and what's next in Kong’s latest product releases.
Today we're announcing Kong Operator 2.3. Building on 2.2's expansion into supporting Event Gateway and Dev Portal, this release significantly broadens our feature set. While 2.2 introduced foundational event-driven capabilities, 2.3 brings Kong AI Gateway fully into the Kubernetes-native fold,…
Introducing Portal MCP Server — a governed, per-portal MCP server (plus OAuth 2.0 connections) that lets agents discover and read Dev Portal content without scraping HTML, while respecting existing access controls. The post also recaps three related capabilities that already shipped: agent-ready…
TL;DR: At Insomnia, we believe your tools should support you (and your agents!), not force you into certain ways of working. Over the last few months, we’ve been hard at work streamlining our interface so that it’s easier than ever for you to get started, stay organized, and work however you want…
Kong API Gateway 3.16 is here: runtime log-level tuning, per-consumer plugin configs, credit/usage-based request blocking with the new Entitlement Enforcement plugin, and FIPS 140-3 compliance for regulated industries - all built for live production debugging and governance, no downtime or custom…
Regulated industries don't get to choose their cryptography standards; governments and auditors choose for them. If you sell software to a U.S. federal agency, a bank, a healthcare payer, or almost any organization operating under FedRAMP, HIPAA, or PCI DSS oversight, the cryptographic modules in…
In July, we announced Kong AI Gateway 2.0 in private beta and made a promise: freed from the API gateway release train, AI Gateway would ship at the speed of the AI ecosystem itself. We said you'd see the evidence quickly. Here it is. Kong AI Gateway 2.0 is now generally available , and…
As of Aug 31 2026, Kong Gateway Enterprise 3.4 will enter its End of Life (EOL) phase and will no longer be fully supported by Kong. Following this, Kong Gateway Enterprise 3.4 will enter a 12-month sunset support period, focused on helping customers upgrade to a current version of Kong Gateway…
TL;DR: To get started for free, click here . Before you dig in, you may… A Git Sync experience that fits your API testing workflow, not the other way around. Insomnia 13.1 now reads your .gitconfig, syncing the native git credentials you’ve already configured, so now you just need to connect once,…
We have big news for platform and AI infra teams: Kong AI Gateway 2.0 is available today in private beta . It runs on its own dedicated runtime, ships on its own release cadence, and carries a completely reimagined user experience designed around the way teams actually build with AI: models, MCP…
If you're running Kafka at any real scale, you've probably hit some version of these three problems. Compliance wants specific fields — SSNs, emails, account numbers — locked down, but your consumers still need the rest of the record. Your topic names are load-bearing in ways nobody planned for, so…
TL;DR: Be sure to stay up-to-date with all things Kong Insomnia . Developers aren't writing every request by hand anymore. Claude Code, Codex, and other agentic tools have quietly taken over a job that used to belong to traditional API clients: making the request, reading the response, iterating.…
Platform teams don't build great infrastructure by writing glue code. They build it by configuring great primitives. But as API footprints grow in scale and complexity, the gap between what a platform needs and what it takes to run it keeps widening: more workarounds, more bespoke scripts, more…
Your security scanner has been yelling at you. Your compliance team has been forwarding the reports. Your platform engineers have been patching OS-level vulnerabilities in Kong's base image that never touched Kong itself. These are the common challenges faced by enterprise customers, especially…
We're excited to announce the expansion of Kong Identity to include centralized principals, which is a single source of truth for every entity (machine, agent, processes, etc) that needs to be authenticated across API gateways, event gateways, and developer portal applications. For platform teams…
The MCP demo impressed the room. Then someone asked how 5,000 employees would connect to 40 MCP servers, and the answer was: one OAuth consent screen at a time. Per user. Per server. No central policy, no unified audit trail, and nothing stopping a personal account from getting wired into a work…
As of July 2026, Kong Gateway Enterprise 3.11 will enter its End Of Life (EOL) phase and will no longer be fully supported by Kong. Following this, Kong Gateway Enterprise 3.11 will enter a 12-month sunset support period, focused on helping customers upgrade to a current version of Kong Gateway…
