Kong Inc., the leading API platform for modern architectures, today launched Kong Brain and Kong Immunity for its Kong Enterprise API platform. Powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, the new, advanced features will help automate the entire API and service development lifecycle from pre-production to post-production to provide organizations with an intelligent, end-to-end API solution. By automating processes including documentation, configuration and traffic analysis, Kong Brain and Kong Immunity will help organizations improve efficiency, accuracy and security. Kong Brain leverages the latest in AI technology to automate API and service documentation by collecting data from a user's existing platform and auto-generating documentation based on the data, which is then pushed back into the Kong platform and auto-configured. In the case of any code changes, it auto-generates updated documentation and pushes it back into Kong, creating a continuous feedback loop.

Application programming interface management company Kong Inc. today updated its platform with new artificial intelligence- and machine learning-powered tools designed to help automate the management of API lifecycles. The new tools, Kong Brain and Kong Immunity, will be integrated into the Kong Enterprise API platform, which serves as a foundation for developers looking to build a cloud-native, microservices-based information technology architecture. Kong, which has raised $26 million from prominent investors that include Andreessen Horowitz LLC, Charles River Ventures LLC and Amazon.com Inc. Chief Executive Jeff Bezos, is one of several companies that are attempting to cash in on the raging popularity of APIs, which allow applications to talk to each other. Kong's API management platform works by exposing services and legacy applications as APIs and also helps to scale up and secure those interfaces as developers rebuild apps on a microservices-based architecture.
