Rocking the Migration from Apigee Edge Microgateways to Kong Gateways with Zero Downtime!

For our first User Call for 2023, Dominik Schmid and Benjamin Bertow from Mercedes-Benz Tech Innovation GmbH, are joining us to show us how they evolved API management to an open platform, integrating the Kong Gateway as the preferred gateway solution. Have you ever thought about how big companies manage their APIs? Mercedes-Benz teams currently manage around 1500 APIs. We will talk about the past, present, and vision of the Mercedes-Benz API platform.

Tiny Flutter: The future of Dart & Flutter on small devices?

Dart recently added experimental support for the new RISC-V CPU architecture and the first boards with these new chips are now starting to be available. One of these is the Sipeed Lichee D1, a RaspberryPi type device that is able to run Linux and Dart. At the same time, tiny but very cheap OLED screens are showing up in all sorts of devices, from soldering irons to high end music synthesizers. But what does it mean for Flutter and its mission "Beautiful apps for every screen" when the screen is 1 inch with a resolution of 128x64? Is that even possible? In this talk I'll cover how to get Dart running on one of these boards, how to use these tiny screens from Dart and what parts of Flutter can help with using screens this small.
