Like many other organizations, Datadog started with larger code bases and VMs, but scaling the company to several hundred engineers while building a system that can handle trillions of data points every day required a shift in how we work and the tools we use.

ManoMano is a french DIY marketplace that faces scalability issues due to its hyper-growth — 100% growth in 2020 to €1.2 billion. To tackle this challenge, their website has slowly transformed from a “classic” backend application serving html to a microservices-based architecture.

In our second Kong Konnect and Okta tutorial, we’ll go through the authorization code flow applied to user authentication processes.

Are we vulnerable to [insert latest CVE here]? Are we affected by [insert popular attack here]? How much time and effort do we need to fix [insert recent security issue here]? As simple as these questions may sound, the answers are rarely straightforward these days.

This tutorial will walk through a common use case for the Kong Gateway Key Authentication plugin: using API key authentication to protect a route to an API server endpoint.

In this session from Destination: Scale, Jelena Duma Sr. Director, Enterprise Architecture at NexJ shares how they scaled down in order to scale up by moving to a microservices architecture. She also shares best practices for other organizations that are also looking to scale and reach new audiences.

In the traditional datacenter, distributed workloads simply existed across multiple datacenters. As businesses evolve their applications in the cloud native era, this degree of distribution scales as well. Workloads landing in multiple VPCs grow in commonality, and in many cases exist between cloud environments. In this Destination: Scale session, Cody De Arkland - Principal Technical Marketing Engineer, Service Mesh, Office of the CTO - shows how Kuma provides a method to connect these applications through its advanced multi-zone capabilities, and how this model enables global scale.

Declarative configuration in CI/CD and applying pre-defined policies to services can improve governance, consistency and stability for teams. In this demo, we’ll demonstrate how your teams can leverage the automation capabilities of Konnect to achieve APIOps for connectivity.

Typically, there are two options to ensuring APIs have the right governance: manual checks or long documentation (or both). There is now a third option in APIOps — integrating your GitOps process with the API lifecycle, automating the enforcement of API standards from design time. This ensures API security, quality, consistency and resiliency across distributed teams at scale, therefore improving productivity for developers and operators whilst reducing risk overall.
