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.…
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.…
Kong Identity can now securely broker downstream credentials for AI agents, giving them access to the systems they need without putting those credentials in the agents themselves. AI agents are getting access to more of the enterprise. An engineering agent might need GitHub and Jira. A support…
Give AI agents a governed way to discover and consume the models, MCP servers, agents, tools, resources, and skills they need — without manually wiring every connection. AI agents are becoming more capable. And as they do, they need access to more of the enterprise. A coding agent might need a…
We're thrilled to announce that Kong, the AI connectivity company, has been recognized as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for API Management for the seventh year in a row. Plus, Kong was positioned furthest on the Completeness of Vision axis for the third year in a row, among all 17 vendors…
In April 2026, Uber burned through its entire year’s AI budget by the middle of the month, driven largely by usage of Anthropic's Claude Code and Cursor. Nothing was broken. No one misused the tool. Engineers were doing exactly what every team's been told to do: adopt AI, use it well, use it…
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…
Enterprise AI governance requires a composed stack connecting high-level risk and compliance oversight with real-time runtime enforcement. While oversight tools manage inventories, approvals, and evidence, AI gateways apply policy controls directly to live model, API, MCP, and agent traffic.…
Kong and Straiker are partnering to help enterprises secure AI agents across the traffic, tools, and systems they already manage through Kong AI Gateway . The integration brings Straiker into the Kong ecosystem, giving customers a way to add deeper security visibility, testing, LLM runtime…
You've mapped the architecture. Your agents retrieve context from external tools, coordinate with other agents, and propagate mutations through your systems. The model logic is solid. An agent gateway is the control layer for traffic between agents, models, tools, APIs, and data sources. It applies…
Most teams building multi-agent systems hit the same wall at roughly the same point. The prototype works. Agents chain together, tasks complete, the demo impresses the room. Then someone asks: "What happens when this runs a thousand times a day? What happens when an agent calls an external API…
You've probably seen the demos. An AI model kicks off a task, hands pieces of it to other AI models, and somehow the whole thing gets done. Emails drafted, code reviewed, reports summarized — all without a human in the loop. While a single agent doing one thing is impressive, the true paradigm…
A decade ago, cloud and API sprawl got ahead of governance, and enterprises spent years trying to account for costs they'd never tracked. Today, we're seeing the same pattern around AI, with hundreds of customers proxying traffic via Kong AI Gateway, which includes LLM, MCP, and agent connectivity.…
Go beyond AI theory and hype, and dig into what's actually running now at Kong's API + AI Summit 2026 , the must-attend AI and API conference of 2026, Sept. 30–Oct. 1 at the InterContinental Los Angeles. Register now , and join the people who've made the calls, hit the walls, and figured out…
You've diagnosed the problem. Your agentic AI initiatives are stalling — not because the models are wrong, but because the integration layer underneath them wasn't built for this. Batch data, rigid schemas, fragmented governance, no real-time event delivery. The plumbing is the bottleneck . Now the…
