Web and mobile apps are now organizations’ primary connection with their customers. Staying relevant and winning market share requires that firms can make constant changes to these apps. However, can organizations deploy many more small changes - often many per day - with confidence and with managed risk? We'll take a closer look at how a modern testing toolchain combines both production safety nets - from canaries, to feature flags, to error reporting - with pre-production intent validation tools for both developers and quality assurance/quality engineering. We can see how it is possible to measure and predict and limit the risk of a change by using AI.

He then shares several code design principles, complete with code examples, to help you get the most value out of your automated testing.

Legacy API Gateways were not designed to connect microservices within and across clouds, across protocols and with sufficient performance and scalability. This demo shows how to run Kong Gateway on a combination of VMs and Kubernetes clusters and administer it all from a central Control Plane.

In this Kongcast Episode, Chinmay Gaikwad, tech evangelist at Epsagon, explains why metrics and logs aren’t sufficient for companies with a microservices architecture. Instead, Chinmay recommends leveraging distributed tracing for optimal observability.
