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.…
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…
In late June 2026, two of the most widely used AI agent platforms were compromised within the same week. Langflow disclosed a critical unauthenticated remote code execution flaw. Dify, powering over one million applications, revealed four vulnerabilities that exposed private conversations and…
This is the second post in a series. For the first part, see Why We Need to Stop Prompt Hacking . Generative AI systems do not fail because models are weak. They fail because architectures are incomplete. Once organizations accept that prompts cannot guarantee reliability, a new challenge emerges:…
Generative AI has completely changed the landscape of enterprise automation, knowledge work and operational efficiency. In 2026, the question is no longer whether these models can perform complex tasks, but whether they can do so reliably enough for mission-critical systems. Despite the…
This is part of a three-part series. For the full story, see Your AI Agent Knows What, It Doesn't Know Why and The Case for Kafka as the Agent's Memory Layer . We made the case for why agentic AI systems need a durable commit log rather than static state snapshots. The argument is…
This is part of a three-part series. For the full story, see Your AI Agent Knows What, It Doesn't Know Why and Building the Agentic Commit Log . Once you accept that agentic AI systems need a durable commit log — an ordered, immutable record of every tool call, decision, and context shift —…
AI agents move fast. Securing them shouldn't slow you down. Kong and Noma are partnering to change that. Noma is the newest member of Kong's Technology Partner Program . This program delivers high-quality, reliable integrations providing real business value for customers. Together, Kong and Noma…
Today we're announcing kongctl 1.0, Kong's new command-line (CLI) tool for managing Kong Konnect programmatically. This release brings kongctl to the Generally Available (GA) level of support and capabilities, giving developers, platform engineers, and AI coding agents a streamlined tool for…
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…
AI agents are spreading across organizations rapidly. Each agent needs secure access to different Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Authentication becomes complex. Scaling creates bottlenecks. The dreaded "too many endpoints" problem emerges. You face a classic AI infrastructure headache. The…
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…
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…
