Change is the primary cause of service reliability issues for agile engineering teams. In this post, I’ll cover how you can limit the impact of a buggy change, making it past your quality gates with Kong Gateway and Spinnaker for canary deployment.
Fastly’s next-gen WAF (formerly Signal Sciences) integrates with Kong Konnect to block malicious requests to your services. Kong Gateway provides a robust and secure enterprise API management platform to front web traffic. In partnership, Fastly focuses on Layer 7 application security for that traffic. This article will explain how Kong Konnect and Fastly work together.
This tutorial shows you how to create a custom Kong Gateway plugin with Go programming language. The sample plugin I created adds an extra layer for security between consumers and producers. The way it works is it identifies consumers through a consumer-key from a query string. Without this parameter, they’ll get an error message.
The more services you have running across different clouds and Kubernetes clusters, the harder it is to ensure that you have a central place to collect service mesh observability metrics. That’s one of the reasons we created Kuma, an open source control plane for service mesh. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to set up and leverage the Traffic Metrics and Traffic Trace policies that Kuma provides out of the box. If you haven’t already, install Kuma and connect a service.
In Kong Mesh 1.2, we added a number of new features to help enterprises accelerate their service mesh adoption. One of the major new features was native Open Policy Agent (OPA) support within the product. In the demo image above, you can see a number actions taking place across a simple web application. These “actions” ultimately are various GET, POST, and DELETE methods (API calls) across various tiers of our microservice application.
Hello Kong Nation 👋 ! We’re back with another fresh release of Kong Gateway (OSS). Read on for the latest release information.
