Learnings from CNCF's Envoy and OPA Creators Matt Klein and Tim Hinrichs

Applications architected as microservices are becoming more prevalent every day, but just like their monolithic ancestors, microservice applications must adhere to organization-wide constraints around compliance, security, performance, etc. Authorization — controlling which people and machines can perform which actions — is a foundational security problem that requires new solutions in a microservice world because of changes in requirements around performance, availability and even where authorization gets enforced architecturally.

Powering your APIs with Kong and AWS Lambda

Nov 25, 2020 By Kong In Kong
While the concept of serverless applications has grown over the past years there are plenty of instances where the serverless model doesn’t fit all needs. For those coming from on-premises or hybrid scenarios, moving to serverless might look like needing to move everything or building very differently than you have in the past.
