Modern Software Development For Today's Systems & Applications
Deploying a Kong Gateway Data Plane With Pulumi
Infrastructure as code is a core component of all modern SRE team’s day-to-day work. There are plenty of options available, but the one that I’m most excited about is Pulumi. Instead of writing a domain-specific language (DSL) to configure your infrastructure, Pulumi lets you write the language you already know. For me, that’s Typescript, but if you prefer Go, Python or DotNet programming languages, that’s an option too.
That's a Wrap! What You Missed at Kong Summit 2021
So many announcements, so many surprises and a seemingly never-ending list of impactful customer stories! After two and a half days packed with fun and learning, we bid farewell to Kong Summit for another year. If you were one of the almost 5,000 people that registered, you know exactly what we are talking about. Here is a recap of some of the most exciting parts of Kong Summit 2021.
Kong Once Again Named a Leader in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Full Lifecycle API Management
We are thrilled to be once again recognized as a Leader in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Full Lifecycle API Management. We believe this recognition reinforces our commitment to our customers, who rely on us to continue innovating so they can build solutions that unlock growth, security and innovation for their companies.

Top Financial APIs
Today's apps provide users with convenience and flexibility. Even the way we handle finances and financial transactions is improved and expanded using top financial APIs.
Managing APIs at Scale in a Kubernetes Environment
Kubernetes continues to lead the container orchestration charge. In fact, according to the latest CNCF survey, 83% of respondents said they were using Kubernetes in production. Kubernetes provides you with key features such as self-healing capabilities, automated rollouts and rollbacks, automated scheduling, scaling, and infrastructure abstraction. This provides a truly extensible, highly available and infrastructure-agnostic environment to deploy all your modern microservices-based applications.
Announcing Hook Relay
If you're a developer working with web hooks, you should definitely check out our new product, Hook Relay.
What's Holding Us Back From True Hybrid Multi Cloud Applications
The promise of hybrid multi-cloud applications has been something the industry has been touting for as long as we have had cloud computing. The reality though is sorely disappointing, with only a few super technical teams coming even close. This talk poses the challenge of identifying why it is so complex and what we can do about it. Attendees will see– a view of why Multi-cloud deployments are interesting– background on the challenges we are seeing across companies in going multi-cloud– strategies to put in place to make it easier to get started
Microservices Monitoring and Logging with Kong Konnect
It's quick and easy to set up microservices monitoring and logging with Kong Konnect.
2 Approaches to Microservices Monitoring and Logging
We’re seeing a massive shift in how companies build their software. More and more, companies are building—or are rapidly transitioning—their applications to a microservice architecture. The monolithic application is giving way to the rise of microservices. With an application segmented into dozens (or hundreds!) of microservices, monitoring and consolidated logging become imperative.
