Kong Gateway for Beginners: Adding a Service, Route and Plugins
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.

Governing API Management and Connectivity
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.
3 Ways Kong Helps With API Gateway Governance
Almost all aspects of businesses are transforming to digital and internet-based solutions. It’s happening from the ground up, starting with developers. You’re building applications for your organizations, and you’re racing to get software and services out to the market faster. The faster your company moves, and the more you build, the more likely you need an API gateway governance strategy.
Creating Your First Custom Lua Plugin for Kong Gateway
This tutorial shows you how easy it is to build a custom Lua plugin for Kong Gateway. My Kong Lua plugin example will automatically add a custom header to any response sent out, indicating the current plugin version. Kong Gateway is built on OpenResty, which extends the NGINX proxy server to run Lua scripts. It sits as a proxy between a client’s requests and routes them to defined services.
Microservice Authorization with Open Policy Agent and Kuma
CEO of Styra Tim Hinrichs demonstrates how OPA and Kuma can be used for microservices API authorization.
Authorizing Microservice APIs With OPA and Kuma
Many companies are leveraging DevOps, microservices, automation, self-service, cloud and CI/CD pipelines. These megatrends are changing how companies are building and running software. One thing that often slips through the cracks is security. With microservices, there’s an increase in the number of APIs companies have to protect. YouTube An error occurred.
