Too many organizations manually manage their API gateways and policy enforcement today. As humans, we make mistakes. You’ve got one team manually configuring Kong or another gateway on AWS, another fiddling with policies in Azure, and someone else applying governance rules by hand in GCP. That’s a…
If you take a step back and think about today’s software development landscape, you could argue that documentation is just as important as the code itself. That’s because traditional documentation workflows — where documentation is manually updated, stored separately from code, and thus often falls…
The AI Proxy Revolution has changed the way developers operate, helping save money and speed up development. This new approach improves how systems talk to each other and allows for quicker, more efficient data exchange. Modern software development is regularly burdened with challenges around costs…
As organizations build more APIs, manual processes and frequent handoffs in the API development workflow can lead to a slower time to market, higher development costs, and poor-quality APIs. They can also result in APIs being poorly documented, causing poor API adoption and lower revenues. APIOps…
The Kong Konnect team recently launched the Portal Management API , which allows users to manage their Developer Portals with one API. That means you can easily manage your portal settings, appearance, application registrations, and registration settings easier than before. In this blog, I’ll walk…
Imagine this: You're documenting an unreleased feature, and your documentation requires screenshots. However, you're working in an internal environment that includes features you don't want to reveal to the public. What do you do? We faced this exact situation during the API Summit release when we…
We’re excited to announce the 3rd Annual Kong Hackathon in conjunction with API Summit 2023 ! This year, the Hackathon will focus on API innovation using Artificial Intelligence. AI is revolutionizing the world, and we want to create an opportunity for the Kong community to experiment with AI…
Organizations today are looking to do more with less. The solution for many? Digital transformation. While digital transformation isn’t a new concept, the benefits of boosting efficiency, controlling costs, and delivering better customer experiences are obvious in today’s topsy-turvy economic…
Today, APIs are based on modern communication patterns: REST, GraphQL, or gRPC. But two decades ago, the majority of Web Services were developed with SOAP/XML. In this blog, we’ll explain how Kong Konnect can manage SOAP/XML Web Services by creating custom plugins and by using ChatGPT. We’ll…

Real-time Data Analytics Platform from Zero to One At the beginning of 2021, a brand new data team was assembled to build a real-time data platform for Kong’s SaaS platform, Konnect. Our mission is to provide top-notch real-time API analytics features for Konnect customers. alt_text V1…
This year, we hosted our inaugural Kong Summit Hackathon . This virtual competition engaged our open source community and offered recognition and prizes for hacks in various categories. The community delivered with ingenious plugins, hacks and documentation. This blog post highlights our Kong…
The Neosec platform integrates with Kong Gateway Enterprise, an API Management Solution , to provide automated and continuous API discovery, API risk posture alerting and API protection through behavioral analytics and response automation. And it does all that while being out of band, using the…
We love abstractions. We want to make things easier for developers, teams and end users. In doing that, sometimes we build things a little bit too complex for those who don't already understand the pain points for which the abstraction layers were built. Kubernetes is an example of this; it solves…
This blog and video were co-created by David La Motta (Kong), Ross McDonald (Kong) and Alex Dworjan (Red Hat). Murphy's Law “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.” To us mortals, that means we should try to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Disaster Recovery (DR) is crucial to every…
In the last blog post , we discussed the need for both speed and quality for your API delivery and how APIOps can help achieve both. In this part of our blog post series, we'll walk through what the API lifecycle looks like when following APIOps. We're still following the best practice we've…
