Have you ever asked an AI assistant to generate code for a framework it doesn't quite understand? Maybe it produces something that looks right, but the syntax is slightly off, or it uses deprecated patterns. The AI is working hard, but it lacks the specific context it needs to truly help you. The…
The hype for Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) has reached a boiling point. Everyone ( including Kong ) is releasing something around MCP to ensure they aren't seen as falling behind in the ever-changing AI landscape. The hype for Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) has reached a…
The first time you push an API to production, you’re excited it’s finally live. You’re relieved that you can move on to your next big project. You’re also nervous. You’ve tested as much as you thought you should, but somewhere in the back of your mind is a whisper of, “What if I missed…

The excitement around large language models (LLMs) and agentic AI is justified. These systems can summarize, generate, reason, and even take actions across APIs — all with minimal human input. However, as enterprises race to integrate LLMs into real-world workflows — especially when those…
Organizations are going all-in on large language models (LLMs), with research finding 72% anticipate increased LLM spending in the coming year (and about 40% are already investing more than $250,000 USD per year). As enterprises rapidly adopt LLMs to transform customer experiences, automate…
As enterprises increasingly embed AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) into their digital experiences, enforcing robust AI guardrails becomes paramount to safeguard users, protect data, manage operational costs, and comply with regulatory and ethical standards. Think of AI guardrails as essential…
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…
MCP is a new way to integrate LLMs and AI agents with third-party data sources and APIs. It significantly improves how we build tool integrations by eliminating duplicated code and providing a centralized interface for multiple agents to access shared tools. Today, we’re excited to announce the…
The explosion of AI-native applications is upon us. With each new week, massive innovations are being made in how AI-centric applications are being built. There are a variety of tools developers need to consider, be it supplying live contextual data via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) or…
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…
When was the last time your AI assistant confused a memo from the CEO with 'Game of Thrones' plot lines? Have you ever asked a chatbot a question, only to receive an answer that was not only wrong but hilariously outdated? Imagine asking about the latest iPhone model and getting a response…
We are in the midst of an explosion of APIs and microservices. For some, the first instinct of creating an API is to get down to building one. Some level of planning will help manage the quality of APIs when working within a team. In this series of blogs, we will be sharing some…
