We love abstractions. We want to make things easier for developers, teams and end users. In doing that, sometimes we build things a little bit too complex for those who don't already understand the pain points for which the abstraction layers were built. Kubernetes is an example of this; it solves…
After you've built your microservices -backed application, it's time to deploy and connect them. Luckily, there are many cloud providers to choose from, and you can even mix and match. Many organizations, like Australia Post , are taking the mix-and-match approach, embracing a multi-cloud…
In this episode of Kongcast , I had the pleasure of speaking with Aaron Weikle , the founder and CEO at MS3 , about supporting legacy-based applications as companies add the next generation of microservices. Check out the transcript and video from our conversation below, and be sure to subscribe A…
A developer portal is a storefront to your APIs (the products) that internal and external developers are trying to consume. The Kong Developer Portal provides a single source of truth for all developers to locate, access and consume services. With intuitive content management for documentation,…

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where all your service mesh services are running in Kubernetes, and now you need to expose them to the outside world securely and reliably? Ingress management is essential for your configuration and operations when exposing services outside of a cluster.…
This blog and video were co-created by David La Motta (Kong), Ross McDonald (Kong) and Alex Dworjan (Red Hat). Murphy's Law “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.” To us mortals, that means we should try to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Disaster Recovery (DR) is crucial to every…
In part 1 of this series on Kubernetes , we discussed how companies like VMware offer the necessary tools to launch, monitor, create and destroy virtual machines. In this post, we review how - much like virtual machines - containers need to be created, monitored, destroyed and relaunched to account…
