Agents are ultimately decision makers. They make those decisions by combining intelligence with context, ultimately meaning they are only ever as useful as the context they can access. An agent that can't check inventory levels, look up customer history, or verify pricing isn't autonomous — it's…
Kong is excited to announce Solace as the newest member of our Premium Technology Partner Program, a program designed to deliver high-quality, reliable integrations that provide real business value for customers. Together, Kong and Solace unify API-driven and real-time data movement into a single,…
This is the pitch to the board and the C-suite. It must be brutally concise, focused entirely on your business outcomes, not the technology. If the first page doesn't articulate value, the strategy dies. It immediately frames the initiative in terms of shareholder value and competitive advantage.…
Let's be honest about what's happening inside most enterprises right now. Development teams are under intense pressure to ship AI features. The mandate from leadership is clear: move fast. And so they do. They spin up LLM connections, integrate third-party AI tools, and route data to models without…
The first pillar is enablement. Developers need tools that reduce friction when building AI-powered applications and agents. This means providing: The goal isn't to replace existing development workflows but to extend them. Developers should be able to build agents using familiar paradigms while…
The evolution of AI agents and autonomous systems has created new challenges for enterprise organizations. While securing API endpoints is well-understood, controlling access to individual AI agent tools presents a unique authorization problem. Today, we're excited to announce a powerful solution…
AI governance establishes the principles, roles, processes, and controls for responsible AI deployment. It transforms abstract ethics into concrete practices. Think of AI governance as a rulebook for how to use AI in a secure, ethical, observable, moderated, and auditable fashion. It’s a…
The AI boom has a dirty secret: for most enterprises, it's bleeding money. Every LLM call, every agent invocation, every API request that powers your AI products — they all cost something. And right now, most organizations have no idea what they're spending, who's spending it, or how to control…
Kong Cloud Gateways are fully managed, high-performance data planes running on customer-dedicated infrastructure, orchestrated and operated by Kong through Kong Konnect . Customers can choose between: Together, these models give organizations the flexibility to run Kong where it makes the most…
Companies are charging headfirst into AI, with research around agentic AI in the enterprise finding as many as 9 out of 10 organizations are actively working to adopt AI agents. LLMs are being deployed, agentic workflows are getting created left and right, and the promises of what this technology…
The Requirement : Article 10 of the EU AI Act mandates strict data governance for high-risk AI systems. This includes error detection, bias monitoring, and arguably most critically for enterprise use — ensuring that sensitive personal data (PII) is not improperly processed or leaked into public…
Feed Agents (and humans, too) with *all* of your APIs While multi-gateway vendor deployments have been found to be lacking as a long-term strategy, the reality is that every large organization is — at some point — going to struggle with trying to wrangle APIs across multiple API gateway solutions.…
Organizations are gradually realizing that API and AI observability aren't two separate problems; they're intertwined and require unified solutions. Without waiting on engineering, it's hard to answer simple questions like "Who's using my APIs?" or "Which APIs are causing the most issues?" Now…
Control Plane Groups in Kong Konnect provide a structured way to manage multiple control planes within a single organization. Think of it as a federated approach: different teams can deploy and manage their own APIs while still adhering to overarching policies set by a central governance team.…
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…
In February 2024, Kong became the first API platform to launch a dedicated AI gateway, designed to bring production-grade performance, observability, and policy enforcement to GenAI workloads. At its core, Kong’s AI Gateway provides a universal API to enable platform teams to centrally secure and…
