Why it works
The story earns New Capability because Kong genuinely could not offer an enterprise-supported Terraform provider before without committing two engineers and twelve months, making it a practical impossibility. The 120-hour figure is concrete and attributable, and the mechanism is clearly explained: Speakeasy generates the provider from Kong's OpenAPI spec and auto-pushes updates on spec changes. The quote from Michael Heap does real work by translating the build cost into business terms rather than just expressing enthusiasm.
Steal this
Translate the build cost into executive language: instead of 'saved engineering hours', the quote frames the alternative as 'two engineers and 12 months' versus 'sign off on a purchase order', making the ROI immediate and visceral for a budget holder.
