Comcast's Self-Service API Gateway Development Journey

Comcast has taken a journey to develop an API gateway initially using open source software and in-house enhancements, and later transitioning to open core commercial software to improve the overall service delivery experience for developers. In this session, Comcast will discuss enhancements that the team made to adapt the community edition of Kong, and subsequently the enterprise edition, to support a self-service, multi-tenant, yet still managed, production API gateway solution, as well as open source contributions made to the Kong community along the way.

Collaborative API Design and Testing with Insomnia

Insomnia Designer is a collaborative API design tool for designing and managing OpenAPI specs. This session will cover how to design and test APIs, as well as how to extend Insomnia with custom plugins. Kong Champion Mert Simsek will dive into how as a team is leveraging Insomnia Designer to share information and data APIs across teams to improve their overall process.

Day 0 to Day 2 With Kuma, Helm and Kubernetes | FinTech Studios

During the early days of finding product-market fit, clouds were small. Often, we start with an EC2 instance here, a managed service there, then some Docker containers, microservices, and wait, Kubernetes! As clouds grow with the teams that maintain them, stable relics and legacy systems remain in production. The effort first goes towards building the future and satisfying clients — they’re paying!

Considerations for Deploying a Multi-Cloud Architecture with Kong Gateway, Kuma Service Mesh and Aviatrix

Building a multi-region or multi-cloud environment for your applications requires a lot of attention. In a typical deployment, you would have an API gateway running close to the several application runtimes. You should enhance your deployment to support different regions in a given cloud, or in an even more distributed and hybrid scenario, multiple services running across other public clouds and on-premise environments.

Decentralizing API Design at NAB | National Australia Bank

Continuing on the journey of building a new API platform, NAB’s primary focus this year has been improving API quality by building tooling for API design and API governance. This Kong Summit 2020 session will cover NAB’s new API search capability, which allows quick API discovery across the organization, and how the team implemented decentralized API governance.

Deploy With Ease and Enable API Automation With Scale

Microservices is a technology that is leading the march toward digital transformation in the world of application development. As the number of APIs increase, the need for a single entry point into the system becomes necessary. This means that a secured, robust, agile API gateway is highly important. However, what we often forget is that the API deployments must also move up with the CI/CD model, along with other components of the project.

JWT Claims With Rate Limiting in Kong

In Kong, plugins can be thought of as policy enforcers. In the case of rate limiting, Kong offers two plugins: An open source one and Enterprise. Both plugins can limit requests per consumer, route, service or globally. Configuring the same plugin is also possible on a more than level. When this occurs, an order of precedence is used to determine which configuration to run. With this capability, it is possible to apply fine-grained policy control. In this article, we cover an advanced use case.

Enter the Next Level: Migrating to Cloud Native Platform

Organizations are moving from centralized data centers to distributed cloud native platforms. Due to the complexity of such a migration, an organization would be running a hybrid multi-platform environment which spans from the old to the new world. It starts at the edge of a system, using functionality provided by an API gateway or platform.
