For many organizations, moving legacy applications to modern cloud infrastructures holds great promise, such as reducing IT overhead and accelerating development times. However, in reality, these projects can be fraught with delays and service interruptions while burdening your team with transition tasks.

Teams are looking for every opportunity to do more with less. Companies want to get to market faster, while reducing costs with automation. To accomplish these goals, it is critical to allow the developers to use DevOps processes and re-use existing Services to drive speed and innovation. In this Workshop, we'll discuss how Kong enables spec-based development to provide consistent APIs, documentation and automate deployments with Kong, using GitOps.

Kong Co-Founders Augusto Marietti and Marco Palladino, joined by other Kong leaders and industry guests, will share their vision for connectivity in this new digital reality and unveil exciting, new products that will redefine what connectivity means today — and beyond.

Kong Mesh is the universal service mesh for enterprise organizations focused on simplicity, security and scalability with Kuma and Envoy.

Is your developer platform a roadblock to innovation? First we’ll see how Insomnia Designer helps developers produce well-designed, high-quality, and reliable APIs with speed and ease. Second, we’ll show you how the Kong Developer Portal boosts developer productivity by providing a frictionless onboarding and service discovery experience to drive API consumption.

You might want to break down a monolith or build new cloud-native application using microservices and serverless. We'll show you how Kong provides the platform not only to enable but to accelerate your journey to microservices, Innovate faster and create new digital revenues. See how to make your developers a lot more productive and provide observability to gain a detailed understanding of your services so that you can even lower your total cost of ownership and complete projects faster. Here, watch demos of Kong for Kubernetes & Kong Mesh.

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.
