Modern Software Development For Today's Systems & Applications
How to Choose the Right API Gateway for Your Business
Modern organizations rely on APIs to power their digital customer experiences. This can lead to stronger brand loyalty and higher revenues — if they play their cards right. The driving factor in delivering personalized content is connectivity to more applications, systems, and data sources. That takes APIs.
Use ChatGPT to Develop a SOAP/XML Custom Kong Konnect Plugin
Today, APIs are based on modern communication patterns: REST, GraphQL, or gRPC. But two decades ago, the majority of Web Services were developed with SOAP/XML. In this blog, we’ll explain how Kong Konnect can manage SOAP/XML Web Services by creating custom plugins and by using ChatGPT. We’ll cover using ChatGPT to develop a Lua custom plugin and how to deploy and test a SOAP/XML custom plugin on Kong Konnect and Kong Enterprise.
Gateway to the Future: A Brief History of Kubernetes Ingress
Join Viktor Gamov, a Principal Developer Advocate with Kong, as he navigates the evolution of Kubernetes Ingress. Starting with the basics, he’ll explain how Ingress is pivotal in managing external access to services within a Kubernetes cluster through HTTP and HTTPS routes. In this talk, Viktor will also address its limitations – the challenge of managing multiple Ingress resources, inconsistencies across different controllers, and inherent limitations in handling non-L7 protocols like TCP and UDP.
How to Fix a SIGILL Kong Crash on Arm64
Kong will crash on the ARM64 platform (the machine with Mac M1/M2 chips or any ARM64 platform). The error message shows the crash is triggered by the SIGILL signal, which means there is an illegal instruction in the Kong binary code. And it turns out to be caused by an error in the LuaJIT ARM64 JIT compiler. This post records how the error is found and fixed.
API Infrastructure is Mission Critical - and Increasingly Under Attack
APIs have revolutionized every industry. They fuel digital transformation and power the web, making up more than 83% of global internet traffic. And API adoption will only grow, with AI, Web3, and decentralization only further driving API usage and integration. But these sometimes-overlooked enablers of connectivity and communication present a serious security challenge: APIs are increasingly in the crosshairs of cyber-attackers.
