Simplifying Canary Deployment | Ingenia | Kong Summit 2020

Canary deployment is a helpful tool that allows companies to put in production multiple versions of its products to control flow and access based on different sets of rules, clients, amounts and operations. In this session, we will discuss best practices for canary deployment and share our experiences using Kong Enterprise — supported by Kuma capabilities — in achieving this.

Journey to the Cloud: From On-Prem to Public Cloud With Kong | Tyler Technologies

The team at Tyler Technologies has used Kong to help take the company’s applications from on-premise installations to multi-tenant cloud services. In this session, we’ll explore how Kong can help make this move without clients ever knowing it even happened, how we use Kong Brain to automatically generate OpenAPI documentation for our integrators and the AWS infrastructure choices we made to get a large, robust Kong instance running in AWS.

Implement a Canary Release with Kong for Kubernetes and Consul

From the Kong API Gateway perspective, using Consul as its Service Discovery infrastructure is one of the most well-known and common integration use cases. With this powerful combination more flexible and advanced routing policies can be implemented to address Canary Releases, A/B testings, Blue-Green deployments, etc. totally abstracted from the Gateway standpoint without having to deal with lookup procedures.

Taking the Leap Seamlessly Transition Legacy Applications to Kubernetes

For many organizations, moving legacy applications to modern cloud infrastructures holds great promise, such as reducing IT overhead and accelerating development times. However, in reality, these projects can be fraught with delays and service interruptions while burdening your team with transition tasks.

Service Design Guidelines with OpenAPI and Kong - Part I

We are in the midst of an explosion of APIs and microservices. For some, the first instinct of creating an API is to get down to building one. Some level of planning will help manage the quality of APIs when working within a team. In this series of blogs, we will be sharing some guidelines on service design while working on API projects with Kong. Let us start by focusing on how to go about designing APIs that end up as entities that the Kong API Gateway runtime understands.

Automating the Development Pipeline to Rapidly Design, Publish and Consume Services

Teams are looking for every opportunity to do more with less. Companies want to get to market faster, while reducing costs with automation. To accomplish these goals, it is critical to allow the developers to use DevOps processes and re-use existing Services to drive speed and innovation. In this Workshop, we'll discuss how Kong enables spec-based development to provide consistent APIs, documentation and automate deployments with Kong, using GitOps.
