# A New Dawn: Enterprise AI's Shadow — Trillions of Tokens, Zero Governance **August 6, 2026** 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.… **Augusto Marietti** # Kong AI Gateway 2.0 Is Now GA **September 1, 2026** 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… **Greg Peranich** # The Age of AI Connectivity **December 18, 2025** 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… **Augusto Marietti** # In the Context Economy, Context is King **February 25, 2026** Gartner published a report last week (1) that I think marks a genuine inflection point for how enterprise technology leaders should think about AI strategy. The headline finding: we have crossed a threshold where competitive advantage in the AI era is no longer about access to data — it's about… **Augusto Marietti** # Kong and Straiker: Runtime Security and Agent-Level Control for AI Agents **September 10, 2026** Kong and Straiker are partnering to help enterprises secure AI agents across the traffic, tools, and systems they already manage through Kong AI Gateway . The integration brings Straiker into the Kong ecosystem, giving customers a way to add deeper security visibility, testing, LLM runtime… **Claudio Acquaviva** # Kong named a Leader in the Forrester Wave for API Management, Q3 2026 **September 9, 2026** Kong is named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: API Management Software, Q3 2026 . Read the full report: The Forrester Wave™: API Management Software, Q3 2026 . APIs used to be about connecting systems to each other. Now they're also how AI agents connect to everything: tools, data, other agents.… **Heather Halenbeck** # Your Multi-Agent System Is Only as Reliable as Its Context Layer **August 19, 2026** You've mapped the architecture. Your agents retrieve context from external tools, coordinate with other agents, and propagate mutations through your systems. The model logic is solid. An agent gateway is the control layer for traffic between agents, models, tools, APIs, and data sources. It applies… **Hugo Guerrero** # AI Takes Center Stage at Kong Partner Summit 2026 **August 3, 2026** This September, Hollywood’s spotlight shines on Kong as we welcome our global partner ecosystem back for another action-packed Kong Partner Summit 2026 preceding API + AI Summit! Together, we'll explore how organizations are moving beyond AI experimentation to production-ready, enterprise-scale… **Cindy Maurice** # The Architecture Decision Your Multi-Agent System Will Live With **August 13, 2026** Most teams building multi-agent systems hit the same wall at roughly the same point. The prototype works. Agents chain together, tasks complete, the demo impresses the room. Then someone asks: "What happens when this runs a thousand times a day? What happens when an agent calls an external API… **Hugo Guerrero** # Intelligent Model Routing: Kong AI Gateway Applies NVIDIA NeMo Switchyard Across Model Traffic **August 11, 2026** Every team running production LLMs has had the same idea: not every request needs the frontier model. Intelligent model routing (or LLM routing)— choosing a model per request on criteria such as task complexity, cost, latency, or quality — enables more efficient model usage. The idea is easy.… **Harish Madhavan** # Kong Gateway Now Supports FIPS 140-3 **September 3, 2026** Regulated industries don't get to choose their cryptography standards; governments and auditors choose for them. If you sell software to a U.S. federal agency, a bank, a healthcare payer, or almost any organization operating under FedRAMP, HIPAA, or PCI DSS oversight, the cryptographic modules in… **Anthony Gatti** # Kong Event Gateway 1.2 Brings Field-Level Encryption, Topic Aliasing, and Analytics to Konnect **July 16, 2026** 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… **Hugo Guerrero** # Insomnia 13.1: Smarter Git Sync for Your API Testing Workflow and More **July 23, 2026** TL;DR: To get started for free, click here . Before you dig in, you may… A Git Sync experience that fits your API testing workflow, not the other way around. Insomnia 13.1 now reads your .gitconfig, syncing the native git credentials you’ve already configured, so now you just need to connect once,… **Haley Giuliano**
