Build, run, discover, and govern your APIs as part of an automated pipeline

Insomnia isn't just a powerful API client — it's a part of the larger Kong Konnect platform for managing the overall lifecycle of your APIs: build, run, discover, and govern.

During this event, we’ll utilize a design first approach to building a REST API. We’ll leverage Kong Insomnia to design and test this API and then use Kong Konnect to secure and expose this API for consumption. Finally, we’ll follow APIops best practices and implement end-to-end automation over the entire API lifecycle.

Join this workshop to learn how to:

Build a REST API with a design first approach
Validate API specifications and automate collection testing using the inso CLI as part of your CI/CD pipelines
Leverage decK to enforce best practices and policies across your APIs
Build guardrails that ensure only compliant APIs move forward in your SDLC

In preparation for the workshop, please make sure you have the following ready:

Text editor/IDE (e.g. VSCode)
Javascript runtime (e.g. node.js)
git CLI tool
Inso CLI tool
decK CLI tool
Insomnia account -Konnect account

Through a hands-on demo, we’ll show how these tools help ensure your APIs stay secure, reliable, and aligned with your organizational standards without slowing down delivery.
