Starting with the 3.3 release, Kong Gateway includes a new implementation of the internal queues that are used by several plugins to decouple the production of data in the proxy path and its submission to a receiving server, such as a log server. We’ll walk you through why queues are needed, why a new implementation was required, how the new implementation works and how queues are configured.

Event streaming allows companies to build more scalable and loosely coupled real-time applications supporting massive concurrency demands and simplifying the construction of services. Ultimately, we may need to grant access to such infrastructure to the most diverse entities, including external applications posting events that will be eventually consumed by internal systems. The purpose of such exposure is to promote development teams’ collaboration.

Creating API design guidelines is a common practice for many enterprises. The goal? Ensuring that all teams involved in API development will adhere to them. However, this goal is often not achieved, as developers may not take the time to read, study, and apply these guidelines. To address this issue, API design guidelines should be seen as the foundation to create high-level tools and services that enable developers to focus more on business logic and less on API integration boilerplate.

APIs have become the backbone of modern software development, by facilitating seamless communication between applications and systems. But building an effective API requires more than just good coding skills. It also requires careful monitoring and analysis to ensure optimal performance, security, and adoption. Additionally, creating accurate and in-depth reports can be time-consuming and complicated, especially when dealing with large data sets.

The Gateway API is the next generation of the Ingress API, one of the most widely used resources across Kubernetes. We will explore the rich set of features provided by this API and deep dive into a demo-oriented talk where we will learn how to expose applications outside the cluster boundaries. We will leverage the Kong Gateway Operator to deploy the controlplane (Kong Ingress Controller) and dataplane (Kong), then, with the help of the Gateway API, expose services outside the cluster boundaries and perform traffic splitting and load balancing based on different rules.

In this eBook, Kong Co-Founder and CTO Marco Palladino breaks down how Kuma now supports every cloud vendor, every architecture and every platform together in a multi-mesh control plane. When deployed in a multi-zone deployment, Kuma abstracts away both the synchronization of the service mesh policies across multiple zones and the service connectivity (and service discovery) across those zones.
