"Kong announces Konnect Metering & Billing, a new solution for monetizing APIs, AI models, and data streams. Integration with OpenMeter is designed to help organizations turn digital services into revenue streams. The new solution offers various possibilities. Users can perform real-time usage metering with built-in integration into Kong API and AI Gateways. This allows measuring existing API traffic without complex adjustments."
