We’ve heard it called a million and one different things. Sometimes it’s “selective synchronization”, sometimes it’s called “environments”. What is clear though, is that there’s a real need to be able to manage multiple sets of configuration for Kong Gateway through a single interface. Today, we’re happy to announce Runtime Groups for Kong Konnect. Runtime Groups allow you to manage your configurations independently.
Web APIs are an integral piece of the development landscape today. According to a 2021 survey, top industries such as Digital Banking, Retail, and Financial services have experienced significant year-on-year API traffic growth with 70%, 51% and 50% increases since February 2021, respectively. The economic impact of APIs is significant and vast. Recent funding rounds of API-focused companies have seen millions of dollars go to companies precisely because APIs appeal to developers.
Today’s digital economy is shifting toward dependence on microservices — self-contained and reusable software components — working in coordination to compose the applications we use. Communication between microservices happens through the API (or application programming interface). Using APIs (which are like pieces of software that let applications communicate with each other) is how microservices expose their functionalities and allow access to their services and their data.

Giving customers the ability to easily switch providers of financial products goes a long way towards providing a more open and inclusive landscape of products for customers to choose from, and delivering better customer experiences.
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!
