This hands-on Developer Day builds on the first two workshops (Platform setup and APIOps automation) to deliver a complete developer experience. You’ll stand up a Kong Konnect Developer Portal with self-registration and application onboarding, wire the portal to an OIDC identity provider for SSO and token issuance, and publish APIs and docs from your APIOps pipeline. In parallel, you’ll assemble an observability stack with Grafana, connecting metrics, logs, and traces from Kong gateways and backend services to create actionable dashboards and alerts. By the end, platform teams will have clear guardrails and automation, while API and app teams get a governed, self-service path from discovery to secure consumption—backed by meaningful telemetry.

Key Takeaways
- Configure the Konnect Developer Portal with self-registration, app credentials, and approval workflows.
- Integrate an OIDC IdP for SSO, role mapping, and token issuance for portal users and applications.
- Automate API and documentation publishing to the portal from your APIOps (GitOps/CI) pipeline.
- Export gateway metrics/logs/traces and build Grafana dashboards for health, latency, error rates, and usage.
- Define SLOs and alerts to turn observability into operational action.
- Split responsibilities: platform teams provide guardrails and automation; API teams manage products and docs; app teams self-serve access.
- Produce a reusable reference implementation you can adapt to your organization’s environment.

Drive Governance Without Sacrificing Velocity With Scorecards

decK is a wonderful tool for managing Kong Gateway configuration declaratively, but before you know it you find yourself editing a 1000 line long YAML file that is is hard to manage. In this call, Michael will take you through the techniques used by some of Kong's biggest users to split their configuration files in to manageable chunks. There will be slides, there will be documentation, and as always, there will be demos.

Federated Configuration Management at Scale with decK

The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) stands at the forefront of scientific discovery, driving innovations across energy, physics, biology, and computational research. The Materials Project at Berkeley Lab (MP, https://materialsproject.org) is a public initiative supported by funding from the US Department of Energy (DOE) since 2011. The project harnesses the power of supercomputing and state-of-the-art methods to provide open web-based access to computed information on known and predicted materials.

 Over half a million registered users from around the world are heavily using the popular platform and its powerful analysis tools to study and design novel materials. This mission demands an IT infrastructure capable of scaling with evolving requirements while maintaining peak performance, security, and efficiency.

In this session, Dr. Patrick Huck, Senior Computing Engineer (CSE5) at Berkeley Lab shares how the Materials Project transitioned to cloud-native technologies as an important cornerstone of its longevity. He will explore how MP runs a microservices-based network architecture on the AWS cloud, and uses Kong to manage access and control traffic to its services. Using containerized environments in an innovative cloud architecture ensures uninterrupted performance for mission-critical applications.

Attendees will learn about how the Materials Project:
- Implements infrastructure-as-code from the ground up to efficiently use its limited cloud computing and human resources.
- Deploys the Kong API Gateway to manage traffic to containerized microservices on AWS Fargate.
- Has developed a custom Kong plugin connecting sessions to an OAuth proxy server.
- Unifies observability in a cloud environment to quickly identify and resolve issues.
