The latest news and announcements about Kong, our products, and our ecosystem, as well as voices from across our community.
You've diagnosed the problem. Your agentic AI initiatives are stalling — not because the models are wrong, but because the integration layer underneath them wasn't built for this. Batch data, rigid schemas, fragmented governance, no real-time event delivery. The plumbing is the bottleneck . Now the…
You swapped in a better model. You fine-tuned it. You threw more tokens at the problem. And still — your agents hallucinate, break under load, and deliver answers that were accurate about three hours ago. The model isn't the problem. Gartner recently flagged that up to 40% of enterprise agentic AI…

If you're running Kafka at any real scale, you've probably hit some version of these three problems. Compliance wants specific fields — SSNs, emails, account numbers — locked down, but your consumers still need the rest of the record. Your topic names are load-bearing in ways nobody planned for, so…
Running Apache Kafka on Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK) gives you a managed broker with no ZooKeeper to operate, automated patching, and multi-AZ replication handled by the service. What it doesn't give you is a safe, governed way to expose Kafka access beyond your VPC boundary.…
Our launch announcement made the business case for prepaid credits: collect fiat-specific payment before consumption, protect your margins from token-cost spikes and collections risk, and give customers a flexible wallet with different overage options. This post is the technical follow-up, written…

Prepaid credits are…
A new version of KAi, the Kong Konnect agentic platform assistant, is live. This is the release that turns KAi from a knowledgeable guide into something that can actually build inside your org — of course, within guardrails that you control. Until now, KAi could tell you how to set up a service,…
As API ecosystems grow, developers and platform teams often work in separate environments. Platform teams manage APIs, gateways, and governance centrally, while developers recreate those configurations locally for testing and debugging. Over time, this can lead to configuration drift, inconsistent…

Legacy API management platforms were built for a different era. They weren't designed for microservices, multi-cloud deployments, or AI workloads. They're expensive, rigid, and hold engineering teams back. The problem is that migration has always felt hard. APIs are load-bearing infrastructure.…
