As enterprises race to deploy multicloud architectures and Agentic AI, they face a common bottleneck: "state." To govern AI token usage, manage agent-to-agent communication, or optimize performance via caching, API and AI gateways require a persistence layer to synchronize data. We’re excited to…
API Summit 2025 is over — check out our API Summit 2025 recap — but AWS re:Invent 2025 is just around the corner. If we missed seeing you in New York (or you just couldn't get enough of us) and you plan to be in Las Vegas from Dec. 1–5 for AWS re:Invent 2025,…

While more and more organizations are seeking to standardize and consolidate their API and AI infrastructure efforts in a unified platform , the reality is that many — especially large — organizations already have disparate API deployments across disparate API gateways. One common API gateway that…
AWS offers its own out-of-the-box API gateways. For many AWS teams, AWS API Gateways are a natural place to start when beginning their API management and API gateway journeys. However, as API practices and programs begin to scale, many organizations begin to look beyond AWS due to major…
In support of our partnership with AWS, we're re-examining how some of our major customers today are using Kong with AWS. To this end, let's look at our popular case study with Cargill. For over 150 years, Cargill has been on a mission to nourish the world in a safe, responsible and sustainable…
Today, I'm excited to announce one of our largest Kong AI Gateway releases (3.11), which ships with several new features critical in building modern and reliable AI agents in production. We strongly recommend updating to this version to get access to the latest and greatest that AI infrastructure…
