WSO2 APK (WSO2 API Platform for Kubernetes) provides a robust, Kubernetes-native platform for managing APIs. It’s purpose-built for cloud-native teams requiring fine-grained control over APIs in modern, distributed environments. With support for microservices architecture, secure ingress, and service discovery, APK solves the infrastructure side of the API equation.

Today, we’re excited to unveil Kong AI Gateway 3.10! This release introduces new functionality to enhance AI governance, reduce LLM hallucinations, and accelerate developer productivity when working with AI. Read on to learn more.

The excitement around large language models (LLMs) and agentic AI is justified. These systems can summarize, generate, reason, and even take actions across APIs — all with minimal human input. However, as enterprises race to integrate LLMs into real-world workflows — especially when those enterprises operate in regulated environments and/or deal in sensitive data — one fundamental question looms large.

AI is quickly transforming the way businesses operate, turning what was once futuristic into everyday reality. However, we're still in the early innings of AI, and there are still several key limitations with AI that organizations should remain aware of to ensure that AI is being leveraged in a safe and productive way.

API audit logging is essential for tracking API interactions, securing sensitive data, and meeting compliance standards like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. It records who accessed data, what actions were taken, when it happened, and more. Proper logging can reduce data breach risks by up to 70% and improve regulatory compliance by 90%.

MCP is a new way to integrate LLMs and AI agents with third-party data sources and APIs. It significantly improves how we build tool integrations by eliminating duplicated code and providing a centralized interface for multiple agents to access shared tools. Today, we’re excited to announce the release of Kong’s MCP Server for the Kong Konnect platform. This empowers customers to integrate AI agents and query LLMs to discover APIs, services, and traffic analytics in real time.

Generally, in today’s fast-moving development cycle, software reliability and system performance rely on successful code testing. Programmers depend on code tester tools to accomplish pre-deployment code debugging, validation, and optimization. The correct selection of code testing tools brings substantial workflow improvements to developers working with web development, software engineering, or mobile applications.

Looking to secure your APIs? Understanding the difference between IP whitelisting and blacklisting is key. To maximize security, consider combining both methods: whitelist trusted IPs and blacklist known threats. Pair these with additional measures like API keys, role-based access, and rate limiting for a robust defense.

Today, we're pleased to announce Kong Gateway 3.10, our next Long-Term Support (LTS) version. This LTS version will be supported until March 2028, up to three years from the release date. Please check our documentation here for more details on Kong’s support policy. Highlights of this release include: To find out more, keep reading!
