Missed apidays (FOST) Amsterdam this week? 🇳🇱 I just dropped a quick recap video of the top insights! Covering Sovereign AI, the EU AI Act, Green API strategies, and the latest in OpenAPI/AsyncAPI. 🚀 Watch the recap here #apidays #apidaysAmsterdam #API #Tech

Why do AI agents reach out to each other? To handle a task. But fundamentally, they are really just doing two things: 🔍 Retrieving context (fetching missing data) ⚙️ Mutating context (updating system state) Context always comes from Tools, Memory, or other Agents. 🤖 #AI

Day 1 at FOST Amsterdam is underway! Lots of great sessions and discussions, plus a dedicated AsyncAPI track. If you're attending, come say hello to the Kong team. Happy to chat about what you're building. #FOSTAmsterdam #AsyncAPI #EventDrivenArchitecture #Kong

A fantastic week at #APIops Helsinki. Thanks for the invitation and to everyone who attended the sessions, shared insights, and contributed to the conversations. It was a pleasure representing Kong and discussing API governance, platform engineering, AI, and developer experience. #APIs #Kong

Thank you QCon AI Boston! 🙏 Thrilled to share two sessions on semantic context bloat & deterministic architecture. Amazing feedback from my hometown community and fantastic conversations at the Kong booth. Let's keep pushing agentic AI forward! #QConAI #AgenticAI

A big thank you to the Atlanta Cloud Conference organizers and attendees. It was great presenting alongside Paul Vergilis on the value of AI Gateways and the infrastructure needed to scale AI safely and effectively. I appreciated all the thoughtful questions and conversations afterward.

Healthy open source need more than stars and likes. If AsyncAPI has delivered value to your organization, consider supporting the project through Open Collective. It helps fund the community around event-driven architectures. buff.ly/KAUTDw9 #AsyncAPI #EventDrivenArchitecture #OpenSource

LangChain’s new LLM Gateway puts governance inside its dev tool, LangSmith. Your auditor is going to have questions. Governance belongs at the network boundary, applied uniformly. Moving it to the dev layer hands the keys to the very people you're supposed to be governing.

I’m at FOST today in New York City 🗽 At 2 PM I’m presenting: “Solving Context Bloat: Semantic Tool Routing in Multi-Server MCP Environments” At 3 PM I’m leading a hands-on workshop on building a self-service agentic infrastructure platform. Come by booth #10 to see Kong Konnect in action 🦍

Headed to apidays New York this week in New York City 🗽 Platform teams shouldn’t need separate platforms for APIs, AI gateways, MCP servers, and agent traffic. With Kong + Kong Konnect, you can unify the entire AI data path into a single control plane. Stop by booth #10 🦍

We’ve spent decades perfecting APIs and integrations, yet one challenge keeps showing up: context. Without it, even the most advanced systems behave like confident guessers. With it, they become truly intelligent. We need to make context discoverable and usable in real time. 🧵👇

“We choose to go to the moon… not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” — JFK We spent decades building reliable event-driven systems. Durability, guarantees, resilience. Now agentic AI leans on HTTP webhooks. Best effort everything. Did we just forget what we learned?

“We choose to go to the moon… not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” — JFK We spent 50 years making event-driven systems reliable. Now agentic AI runs on fragile HTTP webhooks. No guarantees. Just retries and hope. Feels like we forgot the hard lessons.

We’re live at KubeCon Europe 🚀 Swing by the Kong booth to explore AI connectivity and the rise of the context mesh. If you’re building with AI, APIs, or events, this is for you 👀 Come say hi 👋

TIL Apple native containers are now supported with Tahoe 26. I have not upgraded yet, but I am eager to test it. Curious to hear early impressions from anyone who already jumped in.

One year at Kong! 🦍🚀 A year full of learning, shipping, and sharing ideas with the API and AI community. Proud of the work around AI Gateway, Event Gateway, and MCP. Grateful for the team and the chance to speak at API Summit, apidays, and API World. Feeling energized for Year 2.

AI-generated code often includes "Phantom APIs," which are accidental endpoints that create massive security blind spots. To mitigate this, move your defense to the API Gateway. Strict policies can block any unregistered interface before it becomes a liability. 🛠️ #CyberSecurity #GenAI

Stop using AI just for autocomplete! 🚀 Marc Nuri explains how to treat AI as a parallel workforce to 2x productivity. 🔹 Move from sync to async workflows 🔹 Why "AI-readiness" is the new Clean Code 🔹 Managing the risk of burnout Full deep dive here: buff.ly/tdWByCJ #buildinpublic #AI #programming
