How to Secure Your APIs with Kong Gateway Plugins

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.".

Debugging Without a Net: The Pain of Reproducing Production Issues

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.

API Summit 2025 Recap: AI Connectivity and the Agentic Era

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.

Bridging the Gap Between Reliable APIs and Unpredictable AI

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.
