One of the most common questions I get asked is around the relationship between Kong Gateway and Kuma or Kong Mesh. The linking between these two sets of products is a huge part of the unique “magic” Kong brings to the connectivity space. In this blog post and the video below, we’re going to jump right into breaking down the relationship between these products and how you can use them together. First, let’s break down a couple of the terms that are involved.
Multi-cloud infrastructure is changing the way companies approach their software architecture. What started solely as gateway traffic management has evolved into full lifecycle API management. I recently sat down with Reza Shafii, Kong’s VP of product, for a blog series where we explore how full lifecycle service management ties into the concept of cloud native.
Konnect is a hybrid cloud control plane managed by Kong that launched in May. Konnect provides an easy way to create and configure service configurations through a UI, rather than using the admin API and HTTP requests to configure your Kong Gateway. On top of that, it provides usage analytics, a developer portal and role-based access control for service configuration. If you have a Kong Gateway OSS installation, you may be wondering how you can move your instance over to Konnect.
Operating APIs and microservices at scale relies on the right processes and company culture. APIOps is the name for this overall approach. If done right, organizations can accelerate digital business with APIOps. It combines modern automation tooling with best practice engineering principles to ensure that the organization delivers with continuous quality as well as speed. In this blog series we explore the triggers for adopting APIOps, and its impact, through the story of “Acme.”
APIOps is the complete end-to-end automation of the API lifecycle, combining DevOps and GitOps. With APIOps, you can enhance your productivity through the reuse of APIs. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through how to:
🎂 Make a wish and blow out the candles…we’re celebrating Kong’s sixth anniversary! 👏👏👏 In 2015, Mashape open sourced Kong Gateway, launching the next generation of API management. In our last anniversary post, I took a look back at our history. For this 6th anniversary post, I’ll focus on how this year went and look forward to what’s coming up next.
President Joe Biden issued an “Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity” as of May 12, 2021. The order includes numerous actions and mandates to confront the dangers of cyber attacks that are increasing in frequency and sophistication. Cybersecurity has real and significant implications, both in economical and national security terms. At the time of this writing, the Colonial Pipeline cyber attack caused quite a stir on the USA’s east coast.
