One of the most critical requirements for an Application Modernization project is to support workloads running on multiple platforms. In fact, such projects naturally include in their transformation process migrating workloads approach using the hybrid model. Another typical technical decision that commonly comes up is the adoption of Kubernetes as the main platform for the existing services and microservices originated by the modernization project.

Since the early ’90s, computer users and businesses have used Adobe’s venerable PDF format as the de facto choice for digital documents where portability and advanced features such as form-filling, digital signatures, and accurate rendering is important.

CMA CGM is a global player in sea, land, air, and logistics solutions, serving 420 of the world’s commercial ports and operating 285 shipping lines with 580 vessels. Supporting such complex international logistics requires a sophisticated and reliable IT infrastructure, underpinned by APIs that unlock the data needed to flow across the ecosystem of internal IT, partners, and customers.

We’re excited to announce the latest release for both Kuma and Kong Mesh. This cycle, we focused on simplifying enterprise-wide mesh deployments. We strongly suggest upgrading, in order to take advantage of the latest and greatest when it comes to service mesh.

Git Sync lets you collaborate with your team on Design Documents that you create in Kong Insomnia. In the last release, we updated the way that Git Sync works for GitHub. We now leverage the OpenID Connect protocol and OAuth2 to make it easier for you to set up Git Sync. Today, we’re excited to announce that we’re bringing that same ease of setup to GitLab repositories as well!

Today, we are excited to announce the general availability of Kong Ingress Controller (KIC) 2.4! Earlier this year, we launched KIC 2.2 with initial support for Kubernetes Gateway API. In this release, we’re adding weighted load balancing and support for TCP and UDP routes, as well as some much needed quality-of-life features for our customers.

Recently, I came across a request from one of our community users looking for a Kong plugin that could look up address details based on a few location search keywords. There are many libraries that support geocoding. I decided to pick up a Python Library as they are simple to use — and the Kong Gateway supports plugins written in Python since version 2.3.

APIs are at the backbone of every modern application that powers our day-to-day lives. As a matter of fact, API traffic today is at least 83% of the world’s global internet traffic , which underlines the importance of modern API infrastructure that can unlock innovation, agility, fast release cycles, IP reuse and more scalable teams. Most of this innovation is driven by technologies that are open source and platform-agnostic, like Kong Gateway.

The joy and woe (sometimes) of working in technology is that we are forever learning. The software stack is ever-evolving, and so many of us in this industry have come to embrace a lifetime of learning. Here at Kong, we are truly passionate about learning and teaching through Kong education. It has been our goal for some time to give our customers, partners and community users the opportunity to demonstrate their skills through a certification and badging program.
