Chaos Engineering: Why Break Things on Purpose? #kongbuilders #kong #kongmesh
🗣️ In our next Kong Builders Livestream, Andrew Kew is joining us to tell us more about the topic of Chaos Engineering. With the move to distributed cloud architectures, it's becoming more critical to ensure that our platforms are designed for failure and behave the way we expect in these failure events.
Kong Named Leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Full Life Cycle API Management for Third Year
For the third consecutive year, we’re happy to announce that Kong has been recognized as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Full Life Cycle API Management and is positioned furthest to the right for Completeness of Vision. This graphic was published by Gartner, Inc. as part of a larger research document and should be evaluated in the context of the entire document.
Introducing Kong Gateway Operator
In our next #KongBuilders #livestream on November 16, Viktor Gamov from Kong will deep dive into Kong Gateway Operator. Kong Gateway Operator is a next-generation deployment mechanism founded on the operator pattern that allows Kong Gateways to be provisioned in a dynamic and Kubernetes-native way, enabling automation of Kong cluster operations and management of the Gateway lifecycle.
[Tech Talk] Advanced Service Mesh - Build and Manage Multi-Cloud Applications Using Kuma
A service mesh helps to make service communication more secure, reliable and traceable in distributed system architectures. In connection with the topic of service mesh, we often think of terms such as microservices, containers or Kubernetes; i.e. terms from the orbit of modern design methods, architectural approaches or technologies. Of course, everything is usually cloud-based.
How to Use Prometheus to Monitor Kong Gateway
Observability is a critical part of Kong’s API Gateway. In this post, we’ll describe two options to monitor Kong Gateway using Prometheus. Prometheus is an open source system monitor toolkit built at SoundCloud that is now widely adopted. StatsD was originally a simple daemon developed by Etsy to aggregate and summarize application metrics. Prometheus provides a StatsD exporter to collect metrics that are sent in StatsD format.
What's new in Kong Gateway 3.0 with Michael Heap and Guanlan Dai | #KongSummit22
What’s next for Kong Gateway? Join us as we reveal the next evolution of Kong's cloud-native API platform. Businesses are fighting to build exceptional digital experiences to stay ahead — and that means an explosion of demand for APIs. But with more APIs to design, run, and govern, you have to juggle managing APIs across mixed and complex environments, scaling to the demand of web applications, and ensuring compliance and security as APIs become the number one attack vector.

Kong Mesh and Kuma 2.0 Released with eBPF Support, Next-Gen Policies
Today we’re excited to announce the release of Kong Mesh and Kuma 2.0. With this new major release, we’re announcing the first availability of our next-generation policies, in addition to new eBPF capabilities. 2.0 is also significant as we have unified the version scheme between Kong Mesh and Kuma. Previously, Kuma versions had an n-1 version naming convention when compared with Kong Mesh.
Transforming Kong Logs for Ingestion into Your Observability Stack
As a Solutions Engineer here at Kong, one question that frequently comes across my desk is “how can I transform a Kong logging plugin message into a format that my insert-observability-stack-here understands, i.e. ELK, Loki, Splunk, etc.?” In this blog, I’m going to show you how to easily accomplish converting a Kong logging payload to the Elastic Common Schema. In order to accomplish this task, we’re going to be running Kong Gateway in Kubernetes and using two Kong plugins.
