📣 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. 📈📋

In this talk, Claudio Acquaviva (Senior Solution Architect at Kong) and Ádám Sándor (Solutions Architect at Styra) discuss how to leverage Kong Konnect API Gateway and Styra Declarative Authorization Service (DAS) to build Open Policy Agent (OPA) authorization policies for GraphQL APIs. You will first learn how to implement a GraphQL API at Kong Gateway with OPA, followed by diving into Styra DAS to provide an enterprise-ready policy management platform to build, test, and deploy authorization policies.

Service mesh is the future of application connectivity, offering immediate enhancements to your application traffic’s security, reliability, and observability. It abstracts network complexities, offering discovery, routing, and more functionalities. But you may ask, isn’t all of this already available in our frameworks? In this workshop, you’ll discover just how straightforward it is to get started with service mesh in a Kubernetes environment, and we’re not restricting ourselves to any specific language or framework. We aim to be inclusive, addressing developers from diverse backgrounds.

👋 Hello, Kong Builders! We are back with another insightful stream with your favorite host, Viktor Gamov. Join us in diving head-first into Service Mesh Observability and OpenTelemetry. 🌐🔎 In this livestream, we're honing in on observability, with OpenTelemetry. 📈📋 Observability plays a vital role in comprehending and managing microservices, enabling us to effectively diagnose and resolve system issues and gain real-time insights into our system's behavior.

Join Manjiri Tapaswi (Senior Software Engineer, Konnect at Kong) for a ride around your Konnect organization’s administrative management! Learn how to secure and govern your environment by setting up Teams and Roles, or enable SSO through an external authenticator. We’ll go over how to leverage System Accounts for hardening your automation and integrations. Tune up your security risks monitoring, compliance maintenance, and responding to potential security incidents when they occur, by setting up and tracking Audit Logs.

🚀 Join us live to learn about how to implement authentication and authorization for GraphQL APIs using OIDC and OPA with Konnect! 🤝 This tutorial focuses on the solution that can solve for the Authentication and Authorization concerns at the gateway layer. We'll first authenticate users, and if authenticated, then the user’s fine-grain permissions will be evaluated to determine if the user has permission to run the incoming GraphQL request (whether the request is nested or using query variables).
