A decade ago, cloud and API sprawl got ahead of governance, and enterprises spent years trying to account for costs they'd never tracked. Today, we're seeing the same pattern around AI, with hundreds of customers proxying traffic via Kong AI Gateway, which includes LLM, MCP, and agent connectivity.…

In July, we announced Kong AI Gateway 2.0 in private beta and made a promise: freed from the API gateway release train, AI Gateway would ship at the speed of the AI ecosystem itself. We said you'd see the evidence quickly. Here it is. Kong AI Gateway 2.0 is now generally available , and…

Kong was born to connect. The world is shifting from connecting cloud services with apps to connecting LLMs through agents. API calls and tokens are moving in tandem; a new unit of intelligence is forming. As AI traffic explodes into hypervolumes, speed is all that matters. The same principles of…

When an application calls a model provider directly, the service needs the provider's API key, and any control over that traffic has to be built into the service itself. For one service calling one model, that is the right amount of machinery. It holds up less well as the application grows. Every…

Let’s say someone logs in with a real account and a valid token, and your system treats them like any other customer. Then they start changing the invoice number in their requests and reading invoices that belong to other people. That’s a classic case of security breach, but nothing in that story…

Agentic AI governance is the structured management of the authority an organization hands to autonomous AI systems that plan and take action on its behalf. It covers what an AI agent is allowed to do, which systems it can touch, and how those permissions are monitored, limited, and revoked using…

Bots make up more than a third of internet traffic, and API endpoints attract more of it than web pages do. Scanners hunting for .env files, credential-stuffing scripts, LLM training crawlers, and the long tail of low-effort probes all hit your gateway before they ever reach a service. Every one of…

AI infrastructure is changing fast. Enterprises are no longer building around a small set of models exposed through relatively consistent interfaces. New model architectures are emerging (Here’s looking at you Jev!). Providers are introducing new APIs and capabilities. Enterprises are running…

Trace complete AI sessions across models, tools, agents, and infrastructure — and understand where performance, cost, and failures accumulate. Traditional observability was built around requests. A request comes in. A service processes it. A response goes out. You trace what happened in between.…
