Introducing the New Call Management Feature in the WSO2 Support Portal

We're excited to announce an enhancement to the WSO2 Support Portal: our new Call Management feature! This update is designed to streamline how you request and manage calls for your support cases, making the process more efficient and transparent.

Checklist for Distributed Tracing in Complex Data Pipelines

Distributed tracing is a method to track requests across interconnected systems, providing visibility into how data flows through complex pipelines. It helps identify bottlenecks, troubleshoot errors, and improve system performance. Here's what you need to know: Why It Matters: Traditional logging often misses the big picture in distributed systems. Tracing connects the dots, enabling root cause analysis, performance monitoring, and improved reliability.

Marco Palladino on the growth of APIs with AI | CUBE Conversation

Marco Palladino, co-founder and CTO of Kong, joins theCUBE Research’s John Furrier for an insightful conversation exploring the latest technological advancements at the company. As a recognized expert in the field, Palladino shares his perspectives on API innovations and the evolving impact of AI in a world increasingly interconnected by digital technologies.

How to Benchmark API Protocols for Microservices

API protocol benchmarking helps you measure and compare the performance of communication protocols like REST, GraphQL, and gRPC in microservices. It’s not just about speed - it’s about finding the protocol that works best for your system under realistic conditions. Benchmarking identifies bottlenecks, helps with scalability, and ensures your architecture performs well under load.

Integration Testing: A Comprehensive Guide

Integration testing is a critical phase in software development that ensures different components of a system work together as intended. This blog covers the importance of integration testing, its methodologies, and best practices. Learn more about component and integration testing methods, benefits, and challenges.

Service Catalog: The End of API Sprawl

Introducing Kong's Service Catalog, a powerful feature within the Kong Konnect platform designed to improve the lives of API producers. Learn how you can get a complete, 360-degree overview of your entire service ecosystem, not just the services running behind a Kong gateway. In this demo, you will learn: This tool is essential for platform teams who need to enforce governance and for application teams who need clear visibility into service details and dependencies.

Debugger in Kong Konnect

Are you spending too much time trying to track down failing requests or figure out performance issues within your Kong API Gateway? In this quick demo, we show you how to use Konnect's Debugger to save hours of debugging time by rapidly finding the root cause of latency and other issues. You'll learn how Debugger allows you to set up deep tracing sessions for your Kong data planes, collecting OpenTelemetry-compatible traces across the entire request and response lifecycle. We will walk you through a real-world scenario where we diagnose a spike in latency for a specific service.

How to Build a Single LLM AI Agent with Kong AI Gateway and LangGraph

In my previous post, we discussed how we can implement a basic AI Agent with Kong AI Gateway. In part two of this series, we're going to review LangGraph fundamentals, rewrite the AI Agent and explore how Kong AI Gateway can be used to protect an LLM infrastructure as well as external functions.

What Is A Python Bytestring?

In the programming language, Python, binary data and text are often used when working with files, APIs, data encoding and decoding, and networking. In this article, we are going to answer some of the common questions that arise in this process. Some of which include what bytestrings are, how to convert strings to bytes and vice versa, their differences, and many more. This guide will cover all that is required for you to master bytestrings in Python.
