API Summit kicked off with our CEO and Co-Founder, @sonicaghi, taking the stage!
He discussed how AI connectivity is the future of the agentic era and Kong is the connectivity layer of AI.
Then, @slashdotpeter, co-founder of OpenMeter, joined him stage to discuss how with Kong's recent acquisition of OpenMeter, Kong Konnect is the only platform with metering, billing and enforcement all in one place. It is the platform for API and AI monetization, and metering and billing is how we power the AI connectivity era.

@btbytes Sounds like you want to meter a specific task, maybe SDK is better for that, but for K8s-based compute we have an agent: https://t.co/JWEvKqYcf6
Big news! OpenMeter is joining @kong
Together, we’re bringing metering, entitlements, and billing closer to where consumption happens: right at the API and AI layer.

The combo of waitpoint tokens (human in the loop), realtime, and warm starts is perfect for building agents. We're going to be creating a lot of examples of what's possible over the coming weeks.

Btw this is how you can recreate @cursor_ai pricing in @openmeterio if you want to launch similar plans with usage-based limits: https://t.co/WXOAAY3EH8
Billing complexity slows down growth. Every pricing change, new package, or deal adds technical debt.
@OpenmeterIO offers scalable metering, flexible pricing & automated billing in one platform— giving teams control without draining engineering resources. https://t.co/ZNZWUoSG7s
