Today, we're excited to announce Kong Mesh 2.13. Kong Mesh 2.13 delivers full support for Mesh Identity for Kubernetes and Universal mode. Plus, it's been designated as a Long Term Support release, with support for a total of 2 years. But first, what's Kong Mesh for the uninitiated?

DreamFactory announces the general availability of version 7.4.0, a significant release that positions the platform at the forefront of AI-ready enterprise API infrastructure. This release introduces native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server capabilities, enabling seamless integration between AI applications and enterprise data sources. Additionally, v7.4.0 delivers substantial improvements to Azure AD/Entra ID authentication, critical security patches, and enhanced database connector functionality.

Today we’re launching Ably AI Transport: a drop-in realtime delivery and session layer that sits between agents and devices, so AI experiences stay continuous across refreshes, reconnects, and device switches - without an architecture rewrite.

A new CLI command that scaffolds AI-ready Connector SDK projects in seconds.

Discover expanded OpenTelemetry support, full cloud-native authentication, powerful Datakit orchestrations, and PCI DSS 4.0 attestation for Kong Konnect and Cloud Gateways. As API ecosystems grow more complex, maintaining visibility and security shouldn't be a hurdle. Kong Gateway 3.13 simplifies these challenges with expanded OpenTelemetry support and more flexible orchestration. These new capabilities not only make your APIs more observable but also make it easier to implement orchestration.
