AI FinOps must not be an afterthought but should be a critical and mandatory component for any enterprise AI program.. The explosive growth of AI workloads from simple AI-assisted coding to product autonomous multiagent systems complicated by highly dynamic usage-based pricing has introduced next level risk in tracking and managing spend. As the Gartner report points out, 85% of enterprises have no automated controls to stop cost spikes.

Kong Context Mesh

Oct 22, 2026 By Kong In Kong
Kong Context Mesh composes APIs, data, and documents into a single MCP interface that AI agents can call directly, with no custom harness or extra instructions. Built on Kong Konnect, it supports different authentication strategies and data structures, and avoids context window bloat through progressive disclosure and on-the-fly execution. Agents discover tools just in time and retrieve only the context needed for the task. The demo connects internal APIs and external MCP servers, then uses Claude Code to complete a multi-source task.

How to Manage and Secure AI Coding Agents

Oct 8, 2026 By Kong In Kong
AI coding tool spend is projected to top $13 billion in 2026, compounding at more than 60% a year. These agents don't just autocomplete a line of code anymore. They plan. They act. They call tools, run commands, and touch other systems on your behalf. This is pretty different from the assistant that used to live in your IDE sidebar. And that's exactly where the risk lives. An AI coding agent is software that writes, tests, and ships code independently. This level of autonomy earlier tools never had.

Introducing Kong Bot Detector: Native API Bot Detection for Dedicated Cloud Gateways

Oct 7, 2026 By Josh Wigginton In Kong
Bots make up more than a third of internet traffic, and API endpoints attract more of it than web pages do. Scanners hunting for.env files, credential-stuffing scripts, LLM training crawlers, and the long tail of low-effort probes all hit your gateway before they ever reach a service. Every one of those requests costs you — in upstream load, in noise across your analytics, and in the bill.
