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…
Calling all builders, tinkerers, and API innovators. The Kong Hackathon is back for API Summit 2025 ! This year, we’re challenging developers worldwide to create projects that don’t just react, they think , adapt , and act . The theme? Agentic AI : solutions that take initiative, make decisions,…
Technical debt is a sneaky hang-up that organizations and teams often ignore until it becomes unmanageable. It creeps in slowly, undermines your team’s productivity, and builds up until your product is hard to maintain and scale. Software systems and development cycles are increasingly being driven…
Defining AIOps: Your AI-Powered Operations Assistant Enter AIOps—Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations—your new secret weapon in the battle against IT chaos. But what exactly is AIOps? At its core, AIOps is the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to…
The OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications 2025 represents a significant evolution in AI security guidance, reflecting the rapid maturation of enterprise AI deployments over the past year. The key updates include expanded focus on agentic AI systems with "excessive autonomy" risks, new attention to…
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.
