We met a lot of great people at API World 2025. Thank you to everyone who followed up with us after the event. Looking forward to attending KubeCon in a few weeks!
Have you ever wondered how developers can add features like security and traffic control to their apps without spending weeks coding? Kong's API gateway plugins are the answer. Think of your app as a secure office building, your API as the lobby, and Kong Gateway as the head of security you've hired to manage it. Plugins are the security team and tools—like a guard managing traffic flow or a system to scan employee badges—that protect your "lobby.".
Every engineer has been there — a late-night page, a broken feature in production, and no clear way to reproduce it. The logs are vague. The metrics look normal. Your local environment works fine. Yet something somewhere is failing for real users. So begins the detective work — debugging a live system with almost no tools, no perfect test data, and no clone of production.
We’re proud to share that Gartner has recognized SmartBear as a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for API Management. We believe this recognition reflects our dedication to API development teams and to delivering practical solutions that drive excellence. APIs are essential, allowing businesses to move faster, integrate easily, and deliver the best experiences for their customers.
In recent years, AI technologies have evolved rapidly, and these capabilities are now accessible through APIs, making it easier for developers and enterprises to integrate AI into their applications. Whether it's natural language processing, image generation, or text summarization, AI APIs have become essential for modern applications.
Healthcare organizations are under growing pressure to connect legacy EHR (Electronic Health Record) and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems while safeguarding patient privacy and meeting strict compliance standards.

The REAL reason your system WILL FAIL. We all talk about technical debt, but QA Debt is the silent killer costing companies millions. It's the accumulation of skipped regression checks, outdated test suites, and ignored production data. The result? Unpredictable, catastrophic outages that can sink your business (and your career!). Learn how to identify and pay down your QA Debt before it's too late. It's not about testing more it's about testing SMARTER.
That’s a wrap on API Summit 2025! At our eighth annual event, the brightest minds in the worlds of APIs and AI gathered in New York City to define the next chapter of digital innovation. We're entering an era where APIs are not just connecting services but connecting intelligence. APIs are the neural pathways of this new AI world, where agents will reason, act, and collaborate through endpoints. At this year's API Summit, we saw how quickly this vision is becoming reality.
APIs and AI are on a collision course. For decades, APIs have been the foundation of digital reliability: deterministic systems where you send a request, get a predictable response, and trust that what’s defined is what will happen. AI doesn’t play by those rules. Large language models and AI agents operate in probabilities. They don’t just follow contracts; they interpret them. They learn, infer, and sometimes hallucinate.
