For over a century, Goldman Sachs has been one of the most recognizable names in multinational investment banking and financial services. When they speak, the market listens. So what does Goldman Sachs have to say about APIs and AI when it comes to serving its clients and fueling business success? Kong had a chance to ask these questions to Rohan Deshpande, Managing Director at the company, at API Summit 2024.

At API Summit, Kong announced the upcoming beta release of a brand new gateway deployment method in Kong Konnect: Serverless Gateways. Designed for speed, simplicity of use, and affordability, it’s the quickest way to deploy a Kong Gateway. Today, we're pumped to announce that all Konnect Plus users can deploy a fully managed Serverless Gateway!

In this blog post, we'll talk about how to implement API product tiering, a powerful way to customize access, control usage, and monetize APIs. This model can help you scale efficiently while maintaining a smooth user experience. Read on to learn more! We'll be talking about how to implement API product tiering with Kong Konnect, an API lifecycle management platform designed from the ground up for the cloud-native era and delivered as a service.

APIs are essential to modern applications, but managing access and security policies can be complex. Traditional access control mechanisms can fall short when flexible, scalable, and fine-grained control over who can access specific resources is needed. This is where OPA (Open Policy Agent) steps in. OPA provides a unified framework for consistently defining and enforcing policies across microservices, APIs, Kubernetes clusters, and beyond. Consistent policy management is essential for enterprises.

For the last couple of years, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures have become a rising trend for AI-based applications. Generally speaking, RAG offers a solution to some of the limitations in traditional generative AI models, such as accuracy and hallucinations, allowing companies to create more contextually relevant AI applications.

As a follow-up to our recent Kong Insomnia v10 release that shipped with an unlimited and free Collection Runner and one week after announcing our official SCIM support for automated user provisioning, we're now excited to announce Insomnia v10.1. This release ships with the general availability of the CLI to use the Collection Runner with CI/CD automation, a new in-app invite wizard that simplifies working with collaborators, and many other improvements.

Today we're excited to introduce SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) support in Kong Insomnia to automatically provision and deprovision user accounts using a third-party IDP. This capability will enormously simplify the process of onboarding enterprise users into Insomnia, and it's available today for every Enterprise plan customer.
