APIs facilitate effortless communication and data exchange between applications and services. However, their inherent design, which codifies service capabilities within the API definition, makes them easily exploitable by malicious actors. API attacks in the US alone are projected to cost $506 billion this decade — and are expected to surge 996% by 2030. And API-related breaches lead to more leaked data than the average security breach, according to Gartner.

The AI Gateway Pattern enables organizations to adopt and securely govern AI technologies like large language models (LLMs) at scale. Acting as a centralized control plane, it streamlines data flow into AI models, ensures proper data handling and compliance, and simplifies the management of multiple LLMs. This architectural pattern empowers organizations to leverage AI’s strengths while mitigating risks, maintaining performance, and adapting to evolving technologies.

In this eBook, Kong Co-Founder and CTO Marco Palladino breaks down how Kuma now supports every cloud vendor, every architecture and every platform together in a multi-mesh control plane. When deployed in a multi-zone deployment, Kuma abstracts away both the synchronization of the service mesh policies across multiple zones and the service connectivity (and service discovery) across those zones.
