Reach for the Clouds: A Crawl/Walk/Run Strategy with Kong and AWS

I once heard someone say, “What the cloud migration strategies lack at the moment is a methodology to Lift-and-Shift connections to the cloud.” Let’s digest that. In today’s landscape, maintaining a competitive edge and delivering a high-quality customer experience is becoming synonymous with migrating to the cloud. As of 2022, 57% of organizations are migrating more workloads to the cloud.

How AI is Revolutionizing the Development Process

Artificial intelligence (AI) is now well and truly mainstream. Once the preserve of futurists and doom-mongers muttering about job losses, it has become a global watercooler topic thanks to the rise of ChatGPT, which promises to transform the way the entire world goes to work. But AI has been a vital tool in the developer’s armoury for a while. It has given us new ways to optimize workflow and focus on those high-level tasks that will be forever human.

eBPF: The future of the service mesh and network innovation

The conversations around eBPF and how this technology will shape the future of the service mesh caused a huge buzz in the last year — yes, bee pun intended. eBPF lets you run sandboxed programs in an operating system kernel. Imagining how eBPF could improve the service mesh brings exciting possibilities, but it also raises security and operational concerns given the current state and limitations of eBPF.

Reach for the Clouds: A Crawl/Walk/Run Strategy with Kong and AWS - Part 1: Crawl

Reach for the Clouds: A Crawl/Walk/Run Strategy with Kong and AWS - Part 1: Crawl Brought to you by @KongInc Senior Partner Developer Danny Freese Welcome to the "Crawl" stage of our Cloud Migration Journey! In this tutorial, we will show you how to de-risk and lift-and-shift your connections using Kong Mesh and #Konnect during a migration to the cloud. The "Crawl" stage is the first phase of our 3-phased approach, and it aims to deploy the monolith and Konnect runtime instance, and onboard the monolith to Konnect.

Reach for the Clouds: A Crawl/Walk/Run Strategy with Kong and AWS - Part 2: Walk

Reach for the Clouds: A Crawl/Walk/Run Strategy with Kong and AWS - Part 2: Walk Brought to you by @KongInc Senior Partner Developer Danny Freese Welcome to the "Walk" stage of the Cloud Migration Journey, where we will take you through the second phase of the migration process. In this stage, we will show you how to de-risk and lift-and-shift your connections during the migration process to the cloud using Konnect and Kong Mesh.

Reach for the Clouds: A Crawl/Walk/Run Strategy with Kong and AWS - Part 3: Run

Reach for the Clouds: A Crawl/Walk/Run Strategy with Kong and AWS - Part 2: Walk Brought to you by @KongInc Senior Partner Developer Danny Freese In this video, we'll guide you through the "Run" stage of the cloud migration journey, the final step of our crawl-walk-run tutorial. By this point, you should have already deployed the monolith and Konnect runtime instance, onboarded the monolith to Konnect, deployed the Kong Mesh control plane and the on-prem mesh zone, and reconfigured the Konnect runtime-instance so that runtime-instance monolith communication occurs over the mesh.

Building a Data-Centric Platform for Generative AI and LLMs at Snowflake

Generative AI and large language models (LLMs) are revolutionizing many aspects of both developer and non-coder productivity with automation of repetitive tasks and fast generation of insights from large amounts of data. Snowflake users are already taking advantage of LLMs to build really cool apps with integrations to web-hosted LLM APIs using external functions, and using Streamlit as an interactive front end for LLM-powered apps such as AI plagiarism detection, AI assistant, and MathGPT.
