Kong Builders - Kubernetes Ingress Controller: Expose TCP services with Kong

This week, Viktor Gamov will show you how to expose TCP services using Kong #Kubernetes Ingress Controller. Kong Builders is a livestream series that takes our developer-focused toolsets and puts them on display in the best venue possible – building applications and connecting workloads. We’re taking a hands-on, practitioner-focused approach to exploring Kong’s tools. We’ll build from the ground up - debugging/troubleshooting as we run into problems.

REST API Best Practices for Parameter and Query String Usage

Over the last ten years, APIs have grown in popularity and utilization. They've evolved into critical components of application infrastructure, and as businesses continue to use and build them, good API architecture will become increasingly important. A smart API design helps performance and the overall developer experience, whether they're public or internal. The most common APIs employ HTTP requests to access and use data and follow a RESTful architecture.

Audit Logging for Micro-Integrator

When you are running a micro-integrator on a microservices environment, administrators who have admin access to the micro-integrator are able to change its configurations via admin services API. When someone needs to debug the system and find out which person did what change, then the micro-integrator needs to keep a log of activities performed on the micro-integrator. Audit logs are simply a set of logs that let you find what are the changes performed on the micro-integrator instance. Audit logs feature support from the APIM 4.1.0 onward.

Composing Effective Consumer Onboarding Workflows, Part 1

Consumer onboarding is one of the, if not the most, important functions of a customer identity and access management (CIAM) solution. An overly complicated onboarding workflow significantly detracts from the consumer experience. Providing an effective, engaging and efficient onboarding workflow without compromising security has always been a challenge among security and risk professionals.

Composing Effective Consumer Onboarding Workflows, Part 2

In part 1 of this series, we introduced the three most common abstract workflows based on the method in which they are initiated. But what makes an abstract workflow a concrete workflow are the different types of components that make up the workflow. In this article, we will take a look at these components.

APIs and Logistics: How APIs Are Changing the Face of the Logistics Industry

Companies of all sizes and industries are unlocking new possibilities thanks to APIs (application programming interfaces). There are many common uses of APIs, from driving business agility to improving the customer experience. However, there are few sectors where APIs have so much potential as the logistics industry. From giant e-commerce retailers like Amazon to small mom-and-pop businesses, shippers, couriers, and delivery services can all benefit from using a logistics API.

API Rate Limiting: How to avoid hitting rate limits in API integration

When talking about API integration, the matter of API rate limiting is unavoidable. Researching what the rate limits of the APIs you’re going to ‘consume’ in your integrations are should be part of your overall preparation for the development of your project scope. It is also a crucial detail to know when you will be designing your integrations; rate limits will define early on what mechanism you need to implement to avoid hitting them in the first place.
