APIs + AI: Enterprise Modernization Blueprint

How to migrate from legacy ESBs to Kong Gateway, operationalize AI, and enforce GRC with an enterprise API strategy.

Modernization is a mandate. This Kong Summit session shows how APIs and AI form a closed loop for speed, governance, and measurable outcomes—covering migration from legacy ESBs to Kong Gateway and building an enterprise API strategy with GRC.

What you’ll learn:
- Why modernization efforts stall: missing API strategy, tribal knowledge, legacy bloat
- AI-first APIs and agentic AI for reverse/forward engineering
- Accelerating ESB/proxy migration (MuleSoft, TIBCO, DataPower) to Kong Gateway
- API governance: policy automation, risk/threat detection, compliance-by-design
- A blueprint for cloud-native, composable architectures
