This tutorial by Kong Champion Mert Simsek shows you how to create a custom Kong plugin with Go programming language.

Kong Gateway (OSS) has launched 2.4 with a number of awesome new features and fixes. Kong’s Online 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 Kong Gateway for beginners guide, you’ll learn how to do the following. Kong Gateway can simplify scaling microservices by being the abstraction layer that routes clients to your existing upstream service while building a new service. It also applies a common policy for each request and response no matter where the target service is. The benefit of this is that you gain architectural freedom and modernize your application without impacting your clients.

As organizations adopt an API-first approach, there are many connectivity patterns to consider, and the developer experience needs to be excellent to promote adoption. It can be challenging to enforce API governance while enabling developers to build applications. This session recording covers how an organization can empower developers to use Kong securely, enable access control to the Kong API and Manager, enforce authentication/authorization in applications, and implement a zero-trust security model.

CEO of Styra Tim Hinrichs demonstrates how OPA and Kuma can be used for microservices API authorization.

Learn how to add OAuth 2.0 authorization and authentication to your service by integrating Kong Gateway and its OAuth 2.0 plugin. What Does the Kong Gateway OAuth2 Plugin Do? As Kong Gateway sits in front of a resource server, the OAuth 2.0 plugin adds authorization server functionality to that resource server — handling authorization requests, inspecting and refreshing tokens, and permitting or forbidding access to resources.

Kuma is an open source service mesh built on top of Envoy that supports every environment, including Kubernetes and virtual machines. In this Kuma service mesh tutorial, Marco Palladino shows how easy it is to get started.

The concept of APIOps is quite simple: We’re applying the solid and proven principles of DevOps and GitOps to the API and microservice lifecycle.

With Kong OpenID Connect, you don't have to rewrite or maintain the code over and over for API gateway security. And that makes it faster for the developers of the upstream services to get their work done.
