Kong Named a Leader in the 2020 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Full Lifecycle API Management

In 2018, Kong was first positioned onto the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Full Lifecycle API Management Market as a Visionary. This in itself was a very impressive feat given that Kong was started as an open source project just three years before that. I believe Kong’s progress on the Magic Quadrant in this short span of time speaks to how we have aligned Kong’s solutions to our customers’ most challenging problems.

Multi-Cluster & Multi-Cloud Service Meshes With CNCF's Kuma and Envoy

When we first created Kuma – which means “bear” in Japanese – we dreamed of creating a service mesh that could run across every cluster, every cloud and every application. These are all requirements that large organizations must implement to support their application teams across a wide variety of architectures and platforms: VMs, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP and so on.

Kong Demo: Protecting Microservices with Servicemesh

In this interactive demo, we will show how to encrypt and protect all services inside a service mesh using the Kuma Mutual TLS policy. We will then demonstrate how to control traffic permissions among each individual service using the TrafficPermission policy. In addition to security, Kuma provides traffic metrics using Prometheus and Grafana dashboards, as well as traffic tracing (APM) and traffic logging integrated into managed cloud logging and analytics services.
