Kong Mesh is a service mesh that is based on Kuma, an open-source, CNCF project and supports every environment, including Kubernetes and virtual machines. In this service mesh demo, we will show you how easy it is to get started (in Kubernetes) – how to install a control plane, deploy a demo application, enable basic traffic policies, and briefly touch on observability.

In this Kongcast episode, Grant McKeen and Jonathan White from IntegrationWorks, chat with us about how open banking and BIAN (Banking Industry Architecture Network) work with Kong Gateway to create simplicity from complexity in the banking and financial services industry.

Building an API is just the first step. You also need to deploy that API and help your customers onboard to drive API consumption. Design APIs in Insomnia, generate configurations for Kong Gateway and publish REST, GraphQL, and gRPC services to the Kong Dev Portal to enable your audience.

We don’t build our own ticket tracking systems or email clients, so why do we expect every person who joins a team to build their own collection of snippets for interacting with internal systems? These systems are usually not well documented, and the only way to learn how to use them is by asking someone or reading source code. Let’s learn how to use Insomnia Projects with our new collaboration features to provide a prebuilt collection of sample requests, plus documentation about the purpose of each endpoint so that your new team members can be productive on day one.

@Viktor Gamov is a Principal Developer Advocate at Kong, a cloud connectivity company.

In this Kongcast episode, Jason Yee, director of advocacy at Gremlin, explains the concept of chaos engineering, why even the best engineers can’t control everything and tools and tactics to help build app resiliency.

In this video, @Viktor Gamov illustrates the differences between an API gateway and service mesh — and when to use one or the other pragmatically and objectively. He also discuss the similarities and differences between the communication layer provided by gateways, service mesh and Apache Kafka. Finally, you will learn a few ways to use Apache Kafka within a service mesh architecture.

In this week's Kong Builders, Viktor Gamov, Developer Advocate at Kong, will introduce Testcontainers.org and show you how to test your Kong declarative configurations in different scenarios.

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.

In this video, @Viktor Gamov explains how Kong's new @Istio Ingress Gateway works and demos how to use it.
