What is gRPC?

gRPC is an open source remote procedure call (RPC) framework that enables client and server applications to communicate with each other remotely and transparently. In this blog post, we are going to discuss gRPC. First, we’ll talk about RPCs and why they are important. Then we’ll explain how gRPC works, taking a closer look at protocol buffers and the architecture of gRPC.

Building Cloud Native Data Apps on Premises

Data is core to decision making today and organizations often turn to the cloud to build modern data apps for faster access to valuable insights. With cloud operating models, decision making can be accelerated, leading to competitive advantages and increased revenue. Can you achieve similar outcomes with your on-premises data platform? You absolutely can.

Reach for the Clouds: A Crawl/Walk/Run Strategy with Kong and AWS

I once heard someone say, “What the cloud migration strategies lack at the moment is a methodology to Lift-and-Shift connections to the cloud.” Let’s digest that. In today’s landscape, maintaining a competitive edge and delivering a high-quality customer experience is becoming synonymous with migrating to the cloud. As of 2022, 57% of organizations are migrating more workloads to the cloud.

eBPF: The future of the service mesh and network innovation

The conversations around eBPF and how this technology will shape the future of the service mesh caused a huge buzz in the last year — yes, bee pun intended. eBPF lets you run sandboxed programs in an operating system kernel. Imagining how eBPF could improve the service mesh brings exciting possibilities, but it also raises security and operational concerns given the current state and limitations of eBPF.

Reach for the Clouds: A Crawl/Walk/Run Strategy with Kong and AWS - Part 1: Crawl

Reach for the Clouds: A Crawl/Walk/Run Strategy with Kong and AWS - Part 1: Crawl Brought to you by @KongInc Senior Partner Developer Danny Freese Welcome to the "Crawl" stage of our Cloud Migration Journey! In this tutorial, we will show you how to de-risk and lift-and-shift your connections using Kong Mesh and #Konnect during a migration to the cloud. The "Crawl" stage is the first phase of our 3-phased approach, and it aims to deploy the monolith and Konnect runtime instance, and onboard the monolith to Konnect.

Reach for the Clouds: A Crawl/Walk/Run Strategy with Kong and AWS - Part 2: Walk

Reach for the Clouds: A Crawl/Walk/Run Strategy with Kong and AWS - Part 2: Walk Brought to you by @KongInc Senior Partner Developer Danny Freese Welcome to the "Walk" stage of the Cloud Migration Journey, where we will take you through the second phase of the migration process. In this stage, we will show you how to de-risk and lift-and-shift your connections during the migration process to the cloud using Konnect and Kong Mesh.

Reach for the Clouds: A Crawl/Walk/Run Strategy with Kong and AWS - Part 3: Run

Reach for the Clouds: A Crawl/Walk/Run Strategy with Kong and AWS - Part 2: Walk Brought to you by @KongInc Senior Partner Developer Danny Freese In this video, we'll guide you through the "Run" stage of the cloud migration journey, the final step of our crawl-walk-run tutorial. By this point, you should have already deployed the monolith and Konnect runtime instance, onboarded the monolith to Konnect, deployed the Kong Mesh control plane and the on-prem mesh zone, and reconfigured the Konnect runtime-instance so that runtime-instance monolith communication occurs over the mesh.
