The best way to learn a new technology is often to try it. Even if you prefer reading docs, hands-on experimentation is an ideal accompaniment to written instructions. Today I’m happy to announce the fastest and easiest way to try Kong on Kubernetes — the new Kong Kubernetes App on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Marketplace.
Google Cloud recently announced the ability to quickly deploy containerized applications to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) from the GCP Marketplace. Those same apps are just as easy to deploy to Kubernetes clusters running anywhere, not just on Google Cloud Platform.
A few developments make GCP + Kong the fastest way to try Kong on Kubernetes:
The following video is a walk-through of the process starting with step #2 and ending with tearing down the Kubernetes cluster to preserve your Google Cloud Platform credits.
Kong’s install page for Kubernetes presents many other options for deploying Kong on Kubernetes. If you prefer a Helm chart, manifest files, Minikube, an ingress controller, or even Kong Enterprise, we’ve got you covered!
If you run into trouble or have improvements to suggest, we welcome your feedback on Kong Nation! You can also contribute to the project via Pull Requests on our documentation repo or the new repo for Kong on Kubernetes via GCP Marketplace.
We're very excited to announce Kong Mesh 2.12 to the world! Kong Mesh 2.12 delivers two very important features: SPIFFE / SPIRE support, which provides enterprise-class workload identity and trust models for your mesh, as well as a consistent Kuma R
Meet Emily. She’s an API product manager at ACME, Inc., an ecommerce company that runs on dozens of APIs. One morning, her team lead asks a simple question: “Who’s our top API consumer, and which of your APIs are causing the most issues right now?”
In the last two parts of this series, we discussed How to Strengthen a ReAct AI Agent with Kong AI Gateway and How to Build a Single-LLM AI Agent with Kong AI Gateway and LangGraph . In this third and final part, we're going to evolve the AI Agen
In my previous post, we discussed how we can implement a basic AI Agent with Kong AI Gateway. In part two of this series, we're going to review LangGraph fundamentals, rewrite the AI Agent and explore how Kong AI Gateway can be used to protect an LLM
This is part one of a series exploring how Kong AI Gateway can be used in an AI Agent development with LangGraph. The series comprises three parts: Basic ReAct AI Agent with Kong AI Gateway Single LLM ReAct AI Agent with Kong AI Gateway and LangGr
What Is RAG, and Why Should You Use It? RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) is not a new concept in AI, and unsurprisingly, when talking to companies, everyone seems to have their own interpretation of how to implement it. So, let’s start with a r
In February 2024, Kong became the first API platform to launch a dedicated AI gateway, designed to bring production-grade performance, observability, and policy enforcement to GenAI workloads. At its core, Kong’s AI Gateway provides a universal API
