Announcing the GA of Kong Konnect Dedicated Cloud Gateways

Today we announce the general availability of Kong Konnect Dedicated Cloud Gateways, delivering on our promise when we launched the service in tech preview late last year. Cloud Gateways is a fully managed, multi-region API management solution. It’s the easiest and fastest way to deploy performant, scalable, and highly available global API management infrastructure in the cloud using Kong Gateway with Kong Konnect, Kong’s unified API platform.

Streamline Your AI Integration: A Deep Dive into Kong AI Gateway

Join us to learn about the AI Gateway concept and explore the rapidly evolving landscape of large language models (LLMs) in modern applications. With the surge of AI providers and the lack of standardization, organizations face significant challenges in adopting and managing AI services effectively. Kong's AI Gateway, built on the proven Kong Gateway platform, addresses these challenges head-on, empowering developers and organizations to harness the power of AI quickly and securely.

Down the Rabbit Hole: Uncovering the Reasons Behind a Mysterious Performance Regression

At Kong, we take the robustness and performance of our gateway product seriously, dedicating ourselves to maintaining high standards through a robust internal benchmark framework and infrastructure. Our setup includes a dedicated bare metal cluster for running performance tests, seamlessly integrated into our CI/CD process. Moreover, we conduct extensive performance testing for each major, minor, and patch release candidate.

Keeping Your APIs Safe: Best Practices for Top-Notch Security

Application programming interfaces (APIs) are everywhere, and they play a role in running nearly everything in our digital-centric lives. Each time we launch a web page or an app on our phone, dozens of API calls are happening in the background to render an experience heavily customized to you. Increasingly, even the everyday items in your home are talking to APIs — from smart speakers like Amazon Echo to appliances, electricity meters, and lightbulbs.

How to Manage Your Kubernetes Services with an API Gateway

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It groups containers into logical units for easy management and discovery. API gateways sit between clients and microservices. They act as a reverse proxy to accept all API calls, then route and transform requests to appropriate microservice.

How to Manage Your Kubernetes Services with an API Gateway

Want to try it out yourself? The quickest way to get started with Kong Ingress Controller is with Kong Konnect. Learn how to efficiently manage and secure microservices deployed on Kubernetes using an API gateway. This tutorial demonstrates integrating Kubernetes services with Kong Gateway via the Kong Ingress Controller.

Kong Konnect: Get Started with Kong Gateway in 10 Minutes

In this Kong Konnect tutorial, you'll learn how to get started with Konnect and manage your API ecosystem from a single, easy-to-use interface. We'll cover how to use Konnect Runtime Manager to set up your own Kong Gateway instance in Docker (1:00). Then we'll walk through how you can expose, secure and manage your first service using the Konnect ServiceHub (2:22). Lastly, we'll publish that API to our developer portal and show how you can share that documentation with your users and developers all within Konnect (9:20).

Enabling Secure Data Exchange with Decentralized APIs

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but there’s a lot of data out there — and the amount is only growing. Estimates typically show persistent data growth roughly at a 20% annual compounded rate. Capturing, storing, analyzing, and actioning data is at the core of digital applications, and it’s critical for both the day-to-day operations and detecting trends, for reporting, forecasting, and planning purposes.
