Predictive Analytics: How Generative AI and Data Streaming Work Together to Forecast the Future

Predictive analytics is changing how businesses make decisions. Companies can use data, machine learning, and statistical modeling to forecast outcomes with better accuracy. So, how can predictive analytics techniques transform your business? Predictive analytics uses historical data to predict future events. It involves understanding the relationships within your data to predict what's next, impacting industries from retail and healthcare to finance and manufacturing.

Kong Gateway 3.9: Extended AI Support and Enhanced Security

Today we're excited to announce Kong Gateway 3.9! Since unveiling Kong Gateway 3.8 at API Summit 2024 just a few months ago, we’ve been busy making important updates and improvements to Kong Gateway. This release introduces new functionality around LLM support for AI governance and security and threat protection. Keep reading to learn more!

Protect APIs Against Injection Attacks with Content Inspection

APIs facilitate effortless communication and data exchange between applications and services. However, their inherent design, which codifies service capabilities within the API definition, makes them easily exploitable by malicious actors. API attacks in the US alone are projected to cost $506 billion this decade — and are expected to surge 996% by 2030. And API-related breaches lead to more leaked data than the average security breach, according to Gartner.

Writing better tests in fewer lines

Are you still writing 15+ lines of code for a single Java test? Let’s change that. @Diego Molina explains how modern frameworks take that task off your plate. Frameworks handle browser setup and teardown so you can focus on what matters—writing tests. Abstraction makes your tests easier to understand, even for non-coders. With prebuilt API methods, you’re skipping the boilerplate and jumping straight to results. Saving time also saves money.

LLM Testing in 2025: Methods and Strategies

Large Language Models, or LLMs, have become a near-ubiquitous technology in recent years. Promising the ability to generate human-like content with simple and direct prompts, LLMs have been integrated across a diverse array of systems, purposes, and functions, including content generation, image identification and curation, and even heuristics-based performance testing for APIs and other software components.

The Ultimate Guide to Test Management Tools in Shift-Left Testing

In today’s fast-paced software development world, delivering high-quality software on time is paramount. Shift-left testing—the practice of moving testing activities earlier in the development cycle—has emerged as a cornerstone of modern development methodologies like Agile and DevOps. To implement shift-left testing effectively, test management tools play a critical role, enabling teams to manage, execute, and optimize testing processes efficiently.

Ensuring Project Success with a Requirements Traceability Matrix

In the fast-paced world of project management and software development, ensuring that all requirements are met and tracked can be a daunting challenge. The Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) plays a key role here. The RTM is a powerful tool that helps project teams track the relationships between requirements and various aspects of the project lifecycle.

2025: A Big Year for Data Platforms

It’s that time of year, again. Everyone’s been busy sharing their Best of 2024 for “this” or “that” list. A few weeks back it seemed the world was on Spotify Wrapped overload, taking pride in their top songs/artists. Now, I’ve got nothing against recaps, but for me, what’s more important than summing up the PAST year is what’s coming in the NEXT. Especially in the IT space.
