The biggest STOA release yet — 1,091 commits, 297 features, and a fundamental shift toward AI-native API management.

Connecting AI agents to enterprise APIs is the next frontier of digital transformation — and the next frontier of security risk. As organizations deploy AI agents built on Claude, GPT, Gemini, and open-source models, these agents need access to internal systems: databases, CRMs, ERPs, payment processors, and more. The question is not whether to grant this access, but how to do it without opening a new attack surface.

Building a multi-tenant API gateway is one of the hardest infrastructure challenges in platform engineering. You need strong isolation between tenants, shared infrastructure for efficiency, and the ability to scale without multiplying operational complexity. After years of building multi-tenant API platforms — and applying those lessons to STOA on Kubernetes — here is what we learned.
