We’re happy to announce the release of Kong Ingress Controller (KIC) 2.9, in which we’ve taken significant steps towards solution extensibility, deployment flexibility, and lowering the cost of ownership. KIC now offers a number of features that we think you’ll be excited about: Here are the details about each of these features.

Many API developers and companies struggle to find ways to easily set up systems to unlock revenue from their APIs. Some are simple but not customizable while others are complex and require massive engineering effort to actually get it all running. To make things easier, Moesif created the Billing Meters feature which allows for massive customization with a minimal amount of code and engineering effort.

Deciding where to run your enterprise workloads is one of the biggest business decisions you’ll make. That’s because your chosen deployment model influences how you access software and systems, scale your business, and safeguard sensitive data. There are three main deployment methods you need to know about: Self-hosted, on-premises, and cloud. All three models have pros and cons, so it’s important to do your research before investing in new infrastructure and/or services.

The concept of the "digital double" isn’t new, but it’s gaining importance as more and more of our lives are lived in the digital world. Asanka Abeysinghe, WSO2's chief technology officer and the creator of this concept, was a guest on a recent KuppingerCole videocast hosted by Martin Kuppinger, founder and principal analyst at KuppingerCole. During the discussion, Asanka spoke about this unique concept, its benefits, and how it relates to customer identity and access management (CIAM).

If you don't understand how an API works, you can't get the best out of it. That's one problem. The other is that they keep increasing in number, but the quality of the documentation for each of them doesn't. Lack of clear, quality documentation leads to more difficulty for developers, and with more difficulty comes less chance they integrate the API. Which could also be your API. That's where API exploration tools like SwaggerHub Explore come in handy to make this all way simpler.
