American Airlines Dev Experience Takes Off With Service Mesh
Kubernetes is hard. Last year, we started the developer experience product at American Airlines. As we transitioned into the later half of 2020 and into 2021, we wanted to tackle Kubernetes app deployments. We aimed to make it easy for the users to do the right things, no matter how difficult those tasks were. Through our Kubernetes journey, we created reproducible patterns for application teams to use to make things even easier.
Service Mesh Connectivity With Kong Mesh
Kong Mesh is a service mesh that is based on Kuma, an open-source, CNCF project and supports every environment, including Kubernetes and virtual machines. In this service mesh demo, we will show you how easy it is to get started (in Kubernetes) – how to install a control plane, deploy a demo application, enable basic traffic policies, and briefly touch on observability.
The Next Generation of Cloud Connectivity: Apache Kafka, API Gateway and Service Mesh
Let’s boldly go where no one has gone before. Get ready, Star Trek fans! Jean-Luc Picard will be representing our microservice. Once we have Jean-Luc in our ship (microservice in production), what happens on day 2? We still need to add authorization, load balancing, rate limiting, etc. With an API gateway, like Kong Gateway, you don’t have to know how to do this because a set of program components, called plugins, allow you to implement this without any problem.
Apache Kafka, API Gateway and Service Mesh for Cloud Connectivity
In this video, @Viktor Gamov illustrates the differences between an API gateway and service mesh — and when to use one or the other pragmatically and objectively. He also discuss the similarities and differences between the communication layer provided by gateways, service mesh and Apache Kafka. Finally, you will learn a few ways to use Apache Kafka within a service mesh architecture.
