Enforce API Standards with Custom Linting in Kong Insomnia 13

As APIs grow across teams, keeping them consistent becomes difficult. Some APIs follow naming conventions and include clear descriptions, while others don’t. Over time, these differences make APIs harder to understand, review, and maintain. That is where API linting helps. That made it possible to apply custom Spectral rules as part of local development, Git workflows, or CI checks.. Teams can now upload and manage custom Spectral rulesets directly from the Insomnia UI.

How to Proxy Every AI Traffic Pattern Through One Gateway

Production AI no longer generates one kind of traffic. It generates four patterns, and most teams govern only one. **AI traffic management** starts with a single decision: **proxy AI traffic** through one control point instead of letting it flow straight from application code to model providers. Skip that step and security teams have no policy chokepoint, token spend climbs with no meter, and every new provider adds an integration nobody owns.

Why Top Brokerages Are Investing in Data Platforms, Not Just CRM Systems

Open a brokerage’s CRM instance a few years in, and it rarely looks like a sales tool anymore. Somewhere along the way, it picked up MLS feeds, transaction history, integration logic, reporting dashboards, and lately, the raw data behind a first AI pilot. None of that was the plan. Each piece got bolted on because the CRM was the system already sitting there. A CRM was built for a narrower job than that: logging a call, tracking a pipeline, managing the relationship an agent owns.
