Operations teams hate when they’re a hinderance to developers to reduce business risk. Attend this session to learn how you can automate API standards and security as well as deployment, and scale your efforts by removing the back and forth of release checks and balances.

Typically, there are two options to ensuring APIs have the right governance: manual checks or long documentation (or both). There is now a third option in APIOps — integrating your GitOps process with the API lifecycle, automating the enforcement of API standards from design time. This ensures API security, quality, consistency and resiliency across distributed teams at scale, therefore improving productivity for developers and operators whilst reducing risk overall.

In the traditional datacenter, distributed workloads simply existed across multiple datacenters. As businesses evolve their applications in the cloud native era, this degree of distribution scales as well. Workloads landing in multiple VPCs grow in commonality, and in many cases exist between cloud environments.

In this session, we will show how Kuma provides a method to connect these applications through its advanced multi-zone capabilities, and how this model enables global scale. Beyond that, we will demonstrate how this global control plane provides a method of delivering self-service application connectivity through a policy driven approach all while enabling zero trust security and observability.

It might seem like Datadog is a young pup born into Kubernetes and microservices, but that isn’t true. Like many other organizations, we started with larger code bases and VMs. But scaling the company to several hundred engineers while building a system that can handle trillions of data points every day required a shift in how we work and the tools we use.

In this session, I’ll share tips for how to break apart your monoliths and large code bases into faster, loosely-coupled services. I’ll also give you advice for managing your services and how to troubleshoot issues in a microservice environment. And more importantly, I’ll share strategies for getting buy-in and alignment across your organization.
