Every few months, a frontier AI lab makes a move that says the quiet part out loud: agents are only as useful as the systems they can reach. The latest example is Anthropic's acquisition of Stainless, the company behind the tooling that turns API specs into SDKs and MCP servers. Anthropic's own…
GitHub just sent waves of budget panic across its developer base. Seat-based Copilot pricing is out. Consumption-based credits are in. And if you're building an AI-driven product today on flat-rate pricing? You're building a problem into your roadmap. GitHub just announced Copilot plans will shift…
Customers today face significant challenges as their Kubernetes environments scale. The proliferation of microservices, external integrations, and new AI workloads increases traffic volume and connectivity complexity, creating material risks to performance and availability. The core issue is a lack…
Your AI infrastructure is producing financial signals your CFO has never seen. Token consumption is a direct cost line item. Cache hit rate is a margin improvement. Model routing decisions are cost arbitrage events. These things are happening right now, in the gateway layer, with no route to the…
AI agents are only as capable as the tools they can reach. When an agent needs to query a database, file a support ticket, or pull data from a CRM, it has to find the right tool, authenticate, and invoke it — all at runtime. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes how agents communicate…
An enterprise AI gateway should provide a centralized point of policy enforcement for routing, governing, securing, and observing artificial intelligence traffic at scale. LiteLLM is one of many AI gateways that can cover the foundational AI connectivity needs teams often start with. For…
Key takeaways - An MCP server is a lightweight process that exposes tools, resources, and prompts to AI applications over a standardized protocol. - It acts as the bridge between an LLM-powered client and an external system — a database, API, file system, or SaaS product. - The protocol…
Three-quarters of enterprises are now piloting or deploying AI agents. But here’s the problem: actually integrating those agents with enterprise applications is proving to be one of the hardest parts of the whole endeavor. That’s the core finding of a recent Gartner research note, How to Integrate…
Most engineering teams adopt Apache Kafka for one simple reason: it works. It scales effortlessly, it is incredibly reliable, and it powers real-time systems across almost every industry. But as your Kafka usage expands across different teams, regions, and external consumers, success creates a…
As organizations transition from experimental AI to production-grade systems, they often face a fragmented landscape of unmanaged LLM providers, complex tool integrations, and escalating security risks. Without a centralized orchestration layer, developers struggle to maintain consistent…
Modern Kafka deployments struggle with a familiar tension. You want fine-grained access control per client, per team, and even per request. However, traditional ACLs force you into static, cluster-level configurations that are brittle, hard to scale, and painful to maintain. Administrators are…
We want to ensure that our customers know that Kong is not affected by the PyPI LiteLLM incident publicized yesterday. Kong does not rely on LiteLLM — whether PyPI-distributed or otherwise — for any components in our runtime stack. As you may know, a supply chain vulnerability affecting LiteLLM…
Enterprise product teams are squarely in the throes of a massive shift. New Gartner research crystalized that companies using AI tools for product management are reaping a significant 35% productivity gain and achieving a two to three-year time-to-market advantage over those who wait. In their…
At TDX earlier this month, Salesforce announced Headless 360: every capability in the platform now exposed as an API, MCP tool, or CLI command. Co-founder Parker Harris put the thesis bluntly last month: "Why should you ever log into Salesforce again?" That isn't a marketing question. It's an…
Scaling LLM and agentic AI adoption from pilot programs to enterprise-wide deployments is a massive logistical rollout. As AI and agentic usage grow, so does a nagging question for leadership: Are agents using the right tools to get the job done? While raw infrastructure metrics might tell you if a…
