Kong Gateway User Meetup | December 2021 | Hackathon winner showcase - Rate limiting plugin

In this session, we welcome our Kong Summit Hackathon winner Narendra Patel, Sr. DevOps Engineer at Egnyte, to show off his Kong Gateway rate-limiting plugin, which allows you to rate-limit not just on the number of requests, but the bandwidth consumed too! Kong’s Online User Meetups are a place to learn about technologies within the Kong open source ecosystem. This interactive forum will give you the chance to ask our engineers questions and get ramped up on information relevant to your Kong journey.

Log4J, Log4Shell and Kong

If you’ve been online at all this week, chances are that you’ve heard about the Log4Shell zero-day (CVE-2021-44228) in Log4J, a popular Java logging library. The vulnerability enables Remote Code Execution (RCE), which allows attackers to run arbitrary code on the target’s machines. I know the first question that you all have is: “Is Kong affected by Log4Shell?” Let’s start with the good news: No Kong products are affected by this Log4J vulnerability.

Creating a User Retention Analysis in Moesif

Making sure that users derive value from your product can usually be determined by your user retention. User retention measures what percentage of your users are returning to and using your product. Retention is a key metric to measure business health and product success. In this tutorial, Matt shows users how to set up a retention analysis in the User Retention screen in Moesif. He covers how to: Navigate to the User Retention screen Create a “First Event” and a “Returning Event” to measure the retention How to interpret the results

(APIs) Quantum Duality of "API as a Business and Technology"

Every thriving API program leverages the elements from business and technology equally. Alignment of business and technology strategy, the synergy between business and technical teams, and adaptability to the changes coming from either business or technology are fundamental characteristics of such an environment. Asanka Abeysinghe, WSO2, Chief Technology Evangelist will look at four areas, federation and business models, moving to the cloud, polyglot and heterogeneous approach, and modernizing development during this talk. He will also share real-world examples based on his involvement in numerous success stories.

Managing Asynchronous APIs (API:WORLD)

Polling-based APIs or the #RESTfulAPIs were the main building blocks of traditional integration stories. But with the need to respond to events in real-time, integration architecture has shifted from being polling-based to event-driven. With the emergence of reactive event-driven architecture, the asynchronous APIs were able to hold their distinct position in modern-day integrations. Even though the event-driven APIs provide their own advantages such as high resiliency, high responsiveness, and more, management of #asynchronousAPIs continues to be a challenge to the organizations.
