We're pulling back the curtain on a project we've been working on for some time now: the next evolution of the Kong brand. You may have noticed some changes recently to our site, swag, or socials. But today it's official: we're announcing Kong's rebrand and introducing our new mascot, Karl. Without…
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…
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…
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…
The APIs that have been powering websites and apps created a massive market, but there are only up to 8 billion humans consuming them behind pixels. As LLMs are taking over the world — in the form of productized agents first — there will be 100X more machines than humans. The internet built for…
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…
If you've been around long enough to remember when iPaaS was the answer to everything, you know the pattern. New paradigms arrive. Someone realizes that wiring it into existing infrastructure is harder than the demos suggested. An integration layer gets built. That layer slowly becomes…
You swapped in a better model. You fine-tuned it. You threw more tokens at the problem. And still — your agents hallucinate, break under load, and deliver answers that were accurate about three hours ago. The model isn't the problem. Gartner recently flagged that up to 40% of enterprise agentic AI…
Production AI no longer generates one kind of traffic. It generates four patterns, and most teams govern only one. AI traffic management starts with a single decision: proxy AI traffic through one control point instead of letting it flow straight from application code to model providers. Skip that…
Vendor lock-in is one of the most underestimated risks in enterprise technology. It starts with convenience and ends with dependency. And as organizations accelerate AI adoption, the problem is getting worse. What used to be a cloud infrastructure concern now extends to LLM providers, agentic…
Shadow AI detection is the practice of finding and governing unsanctioned AI tools, models, and API integrations that employees deploy without security approval. It has become urgent because these tools route live enterprise data to external models in real time, and traditional security stacks…
Enterprise AI adoption is accelerating. In PwC's April 2025 survey of 308 US business executives, 88% said they plan to increase AI-related budgets in the next 12 months [1]. But scaling AI from pilot to production exposes a structural problem most teams discover too late: direct LLM API…
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…
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…
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…
