The Age of AI Connectivity

Kong was born to connect. The world is shifting from connecting cloud services with apps to connecting LLMs through agents. API calls and tokens are moving in tandem; a new unit of intelligence is forming. As AI traffic explodes into hypervolumes, speed is all that matters. The same principles of performance, security, and reliability behind Kong are essential in an agentic world. A new connectivity layer for AI is born.

Meet the New BI A-Team

Talk to anyone who works with data, and you’ll hear a familiar story: Data engineers are still bogged down cleaning, prepping, and untangling semantic models. Analysts are churning out dashboard after dashboard, with little time left for real analysis. Developers are hand-coding embedded analytics, turning every new feature into a months-long project. And business users are stuck in line, waiting for answers.

Replit vs Cursor : Which AI Coding Platform Should Developers Choose?

In an age where software developers are speeding up their code development to meet the demand of rapid application deployment, there are new tools being developed based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. Replit and Cursor have received a lot of excitement for both of these platforms due to their use of artificial intelligence in assisting developers with coding.

7 RAG Evaluation Tools You Must Know

RAG evaluation measures how effectively a system retrieves relevant context and uses it to generate grounded answers. These evaluations detect hallucinations, measure retrieval precision and reveal where pipelines degrade after model updates or knowledge-base changes. Engineers rely on these tools to maintain output quality, prevent regressions, validate prompt and architecture choices and ensure that production answers stay aligned with trusted sources.
