Companies are charging headfirst into AI, with research around agentic AI in the enterprise finding as many as 9 out of 10 organizations are actively working to adopt AI agents. LLMs are being deployed, agentic workflows are getting created left and right, and the promises of what this technology…
In the latest Kong Gateway 3.12 release , announced October 2025, specific MCP capabilities have been released: The Kong AI Gateway sits in between the AI applications we build and the MCP Servers and GenAI models we consume. In fact, the Kong MCP Gateway sits side-by-side with the Kong LLM…
The Requirement : Article 10 of the EU AI Act mandates strict data governance for high-risk AI systems. This includes error detection, bias monitoring, and arguably most critically for enterprise use — ensuring that sensitive personal data (PII) is not improperly processed or leaked into public…
Kong Gateway is an API gateway and a core component of the Kong Konnect platform . Built on a plugin-based extensibility model, it centralizes essential functions such as proxying, routing, load balancing, and health checking, efficiently managing both microservices and traditional API traffic. An…
The Gateway Evolution An unoptimized AI inference endpoint can burn through thousands of dollars in minutes. This isn't hyperbole. It's the new reality of artificial intelligence operations. When GPT-4 processes thousands of tokens per request, traditional infrastructure crumbles. The demands are…
Everyone's telling you to innovate faster with AI. Move quicker. Ship more features. Deploy more agents. But before we sprint headlong into the AI revolution, we need to have a proper dollars-and-cents conversation that most companies are avoiding. Disclaimer: Statistics cited in this post were…
The numbers tell a compelling story. While 65% of organizations that use APIs are currently generating revenue from them, a significant gap exists between API adoption and AI readiness. 83.2% of respondents have adopted some level of an API-first approach. Yet only 25% operate as fully API-first…
That’s a wrap on API Summit 2025 ! At our eighth annual event, the brightest minds in the worlds of APIs and AI gathered in New York City to define the next chapter of digital innovation. We're entering an era where APIs are not just connecting services but connecting intelligence. APIs are the…
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…
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…
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…
Ever feel like you're fighting an uphill battle with your API strategy? You're building APIs faster than ever, but somehow everything feels harder. Wasn’t API-first supposed to make all this easier? Well, you're not alone. And now industry analysts are noting it as well. New Gartner research on…
It's natural to consider the necessity of guardrails for your sophisticated AI implementations. The truth is, much like any powerful technology, AI requires a set of protective measures to ensure its reliability and integrity. These guardrails aren't just a good idea; they are fundamental for…
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.
