Microservices is a technology that is leading the march toward digital transformation in the world of application development. As the number of APIs increase, the need for a single entry point into the system becomes necessary. This means that a secured, robust, agile API gateway is highly important. However, what we often forget is that the API deployments must also move up with the CI/CD model, along with other components of the project.

Organizations are moving from centralized data centers to distributed cloud native platforms. Due to the complexity of such a migration, an organization would be running a hybrid multi-platform environment which spans from the old to the new world. It starts at the edge of a system, using functionality provided by an API gateway or platform.

Are you an enterprise architect who is currently facing the challenge to secure and observe service connectivity across every cloud and every cluster, including hybrid Kubernetes and VM environments? Kong Mesh, built on top of CNCF’s Kuma and Envoy, is a universal service mesh delivering simplicity and scalability to every application.

Organizations that embrace GitOps are able to develop and automate their end-to-end software development lifecycle by combining the power of Git, CI/CD and Kubernetes. However the path to get there can be rocky: operating in a multi-cloud environment, working with hybrid microservice and monolith APIs, helping teams discover and publish APIs to use, and moving legacy services to Kubernetes pose no shortage of organizational and technical challenges.

With the universal adoption of Kubernetes across cloud and data center platforms, organizations now enjoy a level of consistency across heterogenous infrastructure like never before. This opens up interesting challenges and opportunities for application deployment and IT operations. In this talk, we will discuss how organizations deploy Kubernetes across cloud, data center, branch offices and the edge. We will also cover how organizations can build a universal computing platform across multiple Kubernetes clusters running on heterogenous infrastructure. As a result, they get unprecedent application portability, deployment agility, security and control.

To keep pace with the company’s rapidly growing menu innovation strategy and expansion to digital channels, elevating the API strategy became a priority at Papa John’s. Learn how the team reduced time to market and enabled API innovation with the growing list of external channels. This session will discuss deploying Kong in a hybrid environment, making use of the Kong Developer Portal and integrating to a CI/CD pipeline to automate deployments.

Are you an enterprise architect who is currently facing the challenge to secure and observe service connectivity across every cloud and every cluster? Kong Mesh, built on top of CNCF’s Kuma and Envoy, is a universal service mesh tailored to the enterprise architect that must provide modern and secure connectivity to the applications that the teams are building.

You want to migrate your existing application to serverless — and you don’t know where to start. This is a common problem that a lot of architects, CTOs and developers have, as it is very rare that we start as a greenfield project.

SIGHUP provides enterprise-grade cloud native infrastructure automation for Kubernetes and cloud native stacks. In this session, we’ll dive into how we leverage Kong for Kubernetes.
