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.

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.

Introducing Konnect Debugger: Get Unprecedented API Traffic Visibility

We're excited to announce the general availability of Konnect Debugger, formerly known as Active Tracing during its tech preview phase. This powerful debugging and observability solution in Kong Konnect has evolved from a focused tracing tool into a comprehensive debugging platform.

Create an internal API & service inventory with Konnect Service Catalog

In this livestream, we’ll show you how to use Konnect Service Catalog to build and maintain a centralized inventory of your internal APIs and services. Learn how to improve visibility, enforce automated governance, and enhance collaboration across teams. We’ll highlight key features and best practices that help boost your security posture, improve developer collaboration, and enforce compliance—so your organization can operate with better API oversight.

Announcing Mesh Manager Support in Konnect Terraform Provider

We’re excited to announce the beta support for Mesh Manager in the Konnect Terraform Provider — a new tool that brings the power of infrastructure-as-code to Kong’s Service Mesh management platform. This provider enables engineering teams to declaratively manage Konnect Mesh resources using HashiCorp Terraform.

Announcing Kubernetes Ingress Controller 3.5

We're happy to announce the 3.5 release of Kong Ingress Controller (KIC). This release includes the graduation of combined services to General Availability, support for connection draining, as well as the start of deprecating support for some Ingress types as we help move customers to the Kubernetes Gateway API. Let’s get into more details about these!

A Brief History of APIs

The history of modern technology is a story about APIs. But the same tools that built our connected world have also created complexity and fragmentation. Before we can offload major workloads to AI and autonomous agents, we need to fix the shaky foundation they might be built on. This video explains the evolution of APIs, the challenges of API fragmentation, and why managing the full API lifecycle is critical for the future of tech and artificial intelligence.
