Embedded AI assistants are becoming the new pop-ups.
You visit a site for documentation.
An AI appears instantly, answers halfway, and tries to sell you something.
AI was supposed to reduce friction, not add noise.
My 2025 Year in Review is live: The Year of AI.
A look back at the projects, shifts, and highlights of the year.

Is your infrastructure the bottleneck in your AI strategy? ๐ค
Most companies have an "AI plan," but few have the connectivity to actually scale it. Join Kongโs leadership on Feb 2nd to learn why connectivity is the "secret sauce" for AI success.

Excited to announce I'm speaking at @DeveloperWeek 2026! ๐
Join me on Fri, Feb 20th at 1:00 PM in San Jose for my session: "Building the Open Standard for Event Driven APIs Together."
We'll dive into shaping the future of #EventDrivenAPIs and how you can contribute to the AsyncAPI ecosystem.
TIL Apple native containers are now supported with Tahoe 26. I have not upgraded yet, but I am eager to test it. Curious to hear early impressions from anyone who already jumped in.
One year at Kong! ๐ฆ๐
A year full of learning, shipping, and sharing ideas with the API and AI community. Proud of the work around AI Gateway, Event Gateway, and MCP. Grateful for the team and the chance to speak at API Summit, apidays, and API World.
Feeling energized for Year 2.
AI-generated code often includes "Phantom APIs," which are accidental endpoints that create massive security blind spots.
To mitigate this, move your defense to the API Gateway. Strict policies can block any unregistered interface before it becomes a liability. ๐ ๏ธ

Stop using AI just for autocomplete! ๐
Marc Nuri explains how to treat AI as a parallel workforce to 2x productivity.

โNew Year's is just a celebration of surviving another YYYY-MM-DD rollover.
โReminder:
โjava.util.Date is mutable and hates you.
โSimpleDateFormat is not thread-safe and will corrupt your soul.
โUTC is your only friend.
โMay your 2026 be thread-safe and DST-aware! ๐ฅ

I'm not afraid of AI taking over yet.
I'll be worried when an AI can diagnose, correct, and resolve a DNS outage without the need for human intervention or log requests.
Until then, DNS is our last line of defense. ๐

Signals are converging around Agent Experience.
Mark O'Neil points to 2026 as a key year.
Ross Mason notes that GenAI still misses the human context that drives real work.
We talked about this at Kong API Summit last month.

At apidays Paris, come visit the Open API Standards booth. You will meet people from AsyncAPI, JSON Schema and GraphQL, all sharing insights on open collaboration. I would be glad to say hello and hear what you are building.
Caught a strong view of where AI governance is heading at APIDays Paris.
Jerome Guillaume explained how to control and observe LLM traffic and MCP with the Kong AI Gateway. Want more on secure and scalable AI flows?
Visit the Kong booth for a live demo.

AI is powerful, but connecting it without guardrails is a high-stakes gamble on the Vegas strip. ๐ฐ
At #reInvent, the jackpot is secure, governed API infra. It keeps agents productive, not unpredictable, and data safe, not scattered across the casino floor.

MCP turns one. In twelve months it shifted from idea to essential infrastructure for agent connectivity.
Developers finally have a clean way to expose tools, and teams are moving past the old integration tricks.
Looking forward to year two!
