In the SaaS world, providers must offer tenant isolations for their customers and their data. This is a key requirement when offering services at scale. At Kong, we've invested a lot of time to provide a scalable and seamless approach for developers to avoid introducing breaches in our systems. In this article, we'll explore the challenges of tenant scoping and how we address them effectively.

Imagine a world where you could deploy your API gateways across any cloud, enforce enterprise-grade policies, and meet compliance standards all within a single Terraform apply. Most teams think about infrastructure as code only in terms of spinning up VMs, networking components, databases, or maybe a Kubernetes cluster. But what if your API platform was just as programmable? With Kong’s Konnect platform and its support for Terraform, that reality is here today!

APIs are the lifeblood of disruption. . . when leveraged correctly. The best, most disruptive businesses are able to harness API growth as a strategic opportunity. But how? With an API platform that drives innovation, faster delivery, and top-tier customer experiences alongside a top-notch developer experience. To that end, the Kong Konnect team has been busy executing against these goals in the new year.

As cybersecurity takes the main stage, organizations face a significant challenge: how do you strike a balance between maintaining a high level of security and ensuring employees have enough data access to perform their jobs properly? Role-based access control (RBAC) is a solution that can support both of these goals, even as organizations are quickly scaling.

If you take a step back and think about today’s software development landscape, you could argue that documentation is just as important as the code itself. That’s because traditional documentation workflows — where documentation is manually updated, stored separately from code, and thus often falls out of sync — have started slowing teams down and leading to outdated or inconsistent information.

When was the last time your AI assistant confused a memo from the CEO with 'Game of Thrones' plot lines? Have you ever asked a chatbot a question, only to receive an answer that was not only wrong but hilariously outdated? Imagine asking about the latest iPhone model and getting a response detailing the iPhone 3G. We've all had moments where technology gives us a chuckle—until it's crunch time.

Observability has become critical to ensuring the effective monitoring of application and system performance and health. It focuses on understanding a system’s internal state by analyzing the data it produces in the context of real-time events and actions across the infrastructure. Unlike traditional monitoring, which mainly notifies you when issues arise, observability offers the tools and insights needed to determine not only that a problem exists but also its root cause.
