As the number of services and API teams are growing, control by a central IT team is declining. Rather than enforcing governance it is better to empower the application teams to do the right thing and build in security, governance and compliance into their applications. See how you can do this with Kong by encoding governance into on-boarding, and by providing the dev teams with the ability to inject compliance through fine-grained security policies. Here, we'll demo mTLS & OIDC plugins, RBAC, and Worspaces as ways to efficiently solve security and governance challenges using Kong Enterprise.

The Kong Gateway 2.2 release is right around the corner! Join our Core Engineering team as they walk you through the features and updates in this release including.

Want to learn more about Insomnia? Join us at Kong Summit (Oct 7-8), the biggest event for API practitioners. Insomnia is an open source desktop API client and design platform for GraphQL and REST. It allows you to make requests and inspect responses easily so you can debug and test your APIs like a human. In this video, Kong Developer Advocate, Kevin Chen, will walk you through creating your first request and how to leverage environment variables.

Preview of the features in the upcoming Kong Gateway 2.2 release including UDP support, finer-grained buffering control, extended functionality for Go plugins, and more.

Software is being developed faster and released more often than ever before. With the rise of microservices and cloud native technologies, CI/CD has become increasingly important to take full advantage of what these architectures have to offer to modern software development.

In this interactive demo, we will show how to encrypt and protect all services inside a service mesh using the Kuma Mutual TLS policy. We will then demonstrate how to control traffic permissions among each individual service using the TrafficPermission policy. In addition to security, Kuma provides traffic metrics using Prometheus and Grafana dashboards, as well as traffic tracing (APM) and traffic logging integrated into managed cloud logging and analytics services.

As we grow our businesses, we transform our applications to become distributed and decoupled to iterate faster on customer feedback, adapt quicker to market transitions and improve reliability and availability.

Building a tech stack in today’s world means constantly making decisions about whether to automate or abstract challenges, but the goals are always the same – simplicity, security and speed. As organizations embrace myriad technologies, such as Kubernetes, to abstract away DevOps challenges, they also increase the need for automation to help them manage increasingly complex processes across platforms. In this session, Kong’s VP of Product Reza Shafii will explore how organizations can use automation to reduce friction in adopting new platforms, eliminate repetitive, error-prone tasks and increase the overall effectiveness of their development teams.

In this video, Kevin Chen, Developer Advocate at Kong, will explain how to set up Prometheus monitoring with Kong Gateway to get black box metrics and observability for all of your services deployed on Kubernetes. This guide can also be applied to other solutions like StatsD, Datadog, Graphite, InfluxDB etc.

We are happy to announce the much-anticipated Kuma 0.6 release! This new release ships with major improvements, especially when it comes to supporting service meshes that can span across multiple clouds, multiple Kubernetes clusters and hybrid platforms (Kubernetes + VMs) in enterprise environments. Join Kevin Chen, Developer Advocate at Kong, for a demo of the new features in this release including.
