en.Wedoany.com Reported - AI data activation company Boomi announced on May 13 at the Boomi World 2026 conference in Chicago that it has signed a letter of intent to acquire Lunar.dev, an innovative company in the AI and MCP gateway space. The proposed acquisition is expected to add advanced AI usage control and large-scale scaling capabilities to the Boomi Enterprise Platform and Boomi Connect, enabling enterprises to implement fine-grained governance over large-scale interaction traffic between AI agents and large language models.
This acquisition comes at a critical juncture as enterprise AI deployments accelerate their migration from experimental phases to production environments. Boomi Chairman and CEO Steve Lucas pointed out in his keynote address at the conference that the industry is shifting from AI experimentation to real-world scenario deployment, and the intended acquisition of Lunar.dev focuses on a core objective—enabling customers to control every interaction between AI, data, and applications, which is key to building trust and scaling AI adoption.
Lunar.dev's AI gateway features fine-grained, policy-based control capabilities, enabling complete observability, security management, and performance assurance for every prompt, response, and downstream operation of AI interactions within enterprise environments. Following the acquisition, Boomi will leverage this gateway to launch a control layer that is both centralized and distributed, unifying the management of AI interactions across the entire enterprise, encompassing policy enforcement, cost management, and scalable connectivity in hybrid multi-cloud environments.
At the Boomi Connect level, Lunar.dev is expected to become a core component. Boomi Connect is a managed connector service launched concurrently at this conference, enabling rapid invocation of over 1,000 managed tools supporting the Model Context Protocol, establishing secure and governed connections between AI tools such as Claude, Copilot, and Gemini and enterprise applications. The addition of Lunar.dev will add an MCP gateway layer to it, providing cost management and observability capabilities, while working in conjunction with the Boomi MCP Registry to achieve AI service discovery, governance, and management under a unified catalog.
Lunar.dev was founded in 2022 by Eyal Solomon and Roy Gabbay in Tel Aviv, Israel, and completed a $6 million seed funding round led by Uncork Capital in November 2023. The company is positioned as an enterprise-grade AI gateway provider, with its flagship product integrating an AI gateway and an MCP gateway to implement unified control and security over all outbound traffic from AI agents to large language models, APIs, and MCP tools. It has joined the Google Cloud Partner Program, and its gateway product has been industry-validated in terms of throughput, latency control, and multi-model routing.
Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, USA, Boomi was formerly part of Dell and became an independent operation in 2021, positioning itself as a data activation company for the AI era. The Boomi Enterprise Platform covers four core areas: integration and automation, API management, data management, and AI agent management. In 2026, it was named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Integration Platform as a Service for the sixth consecutive year, ranking highest on the ability to execute axis. Boomi Chief Product and Technology Officer Ed Macosky noted during an analyst briefing that enterprises need an active data foundation to connect data, orchestrate workflows, and provide governance support for AI applications for both people and agents, and that integration is a prerequisite for large-scale AI implementation.
