Kong was hoping to connect with the Kubernetes and cloud native community at various events throughout the year, but since meeting in person is not an option at the moment, were thrilled to host this Cloud Native eParty with Mirantis and Microsoft, said Marco Palladino, CTO and co-founder of Kong Inc. Together, we are stronger and learn more when we share our stories, what has worked and the problems that are challenging us most.
