Unlocking Architectural Freedom: Your Pathway to Hybrid and Cloud API Management

This session covers opportunities for API development with and without AI, and consequently where AI opportunities are really appearing in practice - not in theory. What’s more, we will go over the latest AI trends and API Gateway enhancements. 

In addition to Kong taking the lead with the newly launched AI Gateway, there are many experiments with AI features for the API Management experience (for design improvements, implementation, monitoring, and more). From these trends and assessments, we can understand where to apply AI to our API plans for the coming months, while much of this space remains young and continue to evaluate what the future holds.

The AI Gateway Pattern enables organizations to adopt and securely govern AI technologies like large language models (LLMs) at scale. Acting as a centralized control plane, it streamlines data flow into AI models, ensures proper data handling and compliance, and simplifies the management of multiple LLMs. This architectural pattern empowers organizations to leverage AI’s strengths while mitigating risks, maintaining performance, and adapting to evolving technologies.

As Kong Ingress Controller is used widely in the field, ensuring its reliable and resilient error handling is crucial to us. Kong Ingress Controller 3.2 introduces a Fallback Configuration feature, designed to make sure a single mistake made in your manifests doesn't halt the whole configuration update pipeline. In this User Call, we'll cover:

- The Need for the Feature: Understand the critical scenarios that highlighted the necessity for improved error-handling mechanisms.
- Evolution of Error Handling: Trace our journey from KIC 2.7 to the enhanced capabilities in KIC 3.2, showcasing the iterative improvements along the way.
- Design Decisions and Trade-offs: Gain insights into the thought process, design considerations, and compromises we made while developing this feature.
- Final Design and Functionality: Learn how the Fallback Configuration works in its final form and the benefits it brings to your Kubernetes environments.
- Live Demo: Watch a live demonstration of a real-world scenario utilizing the Fallback Configuration feature, illustrating its practical application and impact.

Join us to discover how Kong Ingress Controller 3.2's Fallback Configuration can help you isolate potential issues in your Kubernetes manifests, ensuring seamless configuration updates without being hindered by a single mistake.

If you're keeping an eye on the service mesh ecosystem, you may have heard a lot of debate about sidecars. Up until recently, there have been some real pain points with sidecars in Kubernetes. As surprising as it sounds, there was actually no real concept of a sidecar at all. With Kubernetes v1.29, a number of those points have been solved with the release of the *native sidecars* feature. Kong Mesh's most recent release v2.7 adds support for this game-changing feature.
In this webinar, we'll cover:
* Why do we really need sidecars?
* We've had sidecars forever, but how did they look before Kubernetes v1.29?
* How the new *native sidecars* feature makes everything just work
* A Kong Mesh demo using native sidecars
