No AI without APIs — as we say here at Kong. I’m excited to officially share our oversubscribed Kong Series E financing at a $2 billion valuation! We raised $175 million in both primary and secondary, led again by Tiger Global and co-led by new investor Balderton as well as new strong participation from long-only Teachers’ Venture Growth (the late-stage growth investment arm of Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan).

In Kong Gateway 2.0, we released Hybrid Mode, also known as Control Plane/Data Plane separation. With it, our customers could efficiently and securely deploy clusters of Kong Gateway Dataplanes on their on-prem, private, and public clouds in any combination they wanted, and they could control the entire cluster from a single point, the Control Plane. Hybrid Mode became instantly popular with all our customers with large and varied deployments, due to the increased flexibility and ease of management.

At API Summit 2024, a common theme covered was how there's no AI without APIs. This couldn’t be more true for Writer, the full-stack generative AI platform for enterprises — and a notable user of the Kong Konnect unified API platform. Writer recently launched AI Studio, billed as “the fastest way to build generative AI apps.” AI Studio uses Writer API, Writer Framework, and Writer No Code to give people enterprise-grade generative AIs they can put in their own apps and services.

APIs are essential to modern applications, but managing access and security policies can be complex. Traditional access control mechanisms can fall short when flexible, scalable, and fine-grained control over who can access specific resources is needed. This is where OPA (Open Policy Agent) steps in. OPA provides a unified framework for consistently defining and enforcing policies across microservices, APIs, Kubernetes clusters, and beyond. Consistent policy management is essential for enterprises.

The AI Gateway Pattern enables organizations to adopt and securely govern AI technologies like large language models (LLMs) at scale. Acting as a centralized control plane, it streamlines data flow into AI models, ensures proper data handling and compliance, and simplifies the management of multiple LLMs. This architectural pattern empowers organizations to leverage AI’s strengths while mitigating risks, maintaining performance, and adapting to evolving technologies.

- The wide adoption of cloud-native and microservice-based applications to connect applications, data, and devices across the enterprise has led to an exponential growth in APIs. But as the API ecosystem grows, so does the risk of exposing sensitive data. APIs get directly to critical and sensitive data, making them a valuable target for hackers. How can you ensure your APIs are protected from malicious attacks and unauthorized access?

In this eBook, Kong Co-Founder and CTO Marco Palladino breaks down how Kuma now supports every cloud vendor, every architecture and every platform together in a multi-mesh control plane. When deployed in a multi-zone deployment, Kuma abstracts away both the synchronization of the service mesh policies across multiple zones and the service connectivity (and service discovery) across those zones.
