In a world filled with threats, how can we deploy APIs with confidence? In this talk, we'll review how biological immune systems solve the problem and dive into how similar concepts drive Salt Security's Kong Plugin. The issue is how to defend APIs against evolving adversaries without knowing in advance what their attacks will be...all while not over-alerting on false positives. Join us to learn about security standards, why AuthZ/AuthN aren't enough, and what we as professionals can do to enhance trust in an increasingly API driven world.

Installing and configuring Kong Gateway is just the beginning. Once you’re in production there’s ongoing effort to keep your API Gateway online and make it’s configuration match what your business needs. Our recent Kong Gateway 3.4 and Kong Ingress Controller 2.11 releases are focused on operator efficiency, and contain a host of features that will make your life easier. Join Veena and Michael as they walk you through some common failure modes of Kong Gateway and how our latest release helps you keep your API Gateway processing traffic 24/7.

Our conversations have been 🔥 lately, so we’re keeping the momentum on Kong Konnect Control Planes, Kong Data Planes, and Rate Limiting going!

Join Viktor Gamov, a Principal Developer Advocate with Kong, as he navigates the evolution of Kubernetes Ingress. Starting with the basics, he’ll explain how Ingress is pivotal in managing external access to services within a Kubernetes cluster through HTTP and HTTPS routes. In this talk, Viktor will also address its limitations – the challenge of managing multiple Ingress resources, inconsistencies across different controllers, and inherent limitations in handling non-L7 protocols like TCP and UDP.

Join Kong's techies, Danny Freese and Viktor Gamov, for a riveting live stream that delves into the boundless world of Kong's managed control plane, Kong Konnect, and serverless dataplanes.

Join Frederik Nakstad and Adelina Simion from Form3 to learn how they use the Kong Ingress Controller to manage service routes on Form3’s multi-cloud platform. You’ll get an overview of Form3’s platform and environment configuration and how they moved from a legacy ECS solution to running Kong in a Kubernetes-native way with the Kong Ingress Controller. This approach provides useful abstractions and makes it easier for the Form3 service teams to configure routes.

📣 We had so much fun talking Mesh and OpenTelemetry in our last Kong Builders that we decided to give you a special Part 2! Join us on July 5th for a special extra addition of #KongBuilders live. Don't worry! We'll still be back again the last Wednesday of July too in our usual monthly slot! Join your favorite hosts, Viktor Gamov and Danny Freese as they dive even deeper into observability with OpenTelemetry. 📈📋
