Last week, we got a question from one of our users asking us how to use Kotlin Apply. Specifically, the reader wanted to know whether it was best to use the apply function in their Android application, or another of the many Kotlin scope functions. So we got to thinking: Why not write an article about the whole topic of Kotlin scope functions? After all, they’re awesome: they let us write readable, concise code in Kotlin, and work with an object without the need for repeated references.

Next.js (a React framework) and Vercel (the platform created by the Next.js team) are renowned for providing a smooth and efficient development workflow. This allows developers to quickly build, test, and iterate on interfaces for AI features, which is crucial in the rapidly evolving AI space. Features like Fast Refresh, easy setup, and integrated tooling speed things up considerably.

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.
