How an API Gateway and Service Mesh Architect Secure and Reliable Applications

As service mesh technology has emerged, the industry has often failed to recognize how this pattern played with the API gateway pattern. Gateways and service meshes have their utility, and skillfully taking advantage of both allows us to build highly scalable, secure, and reliable applications.

In this webinar, Kong Sr. Sales Engineer Sr. Misiu Pajor, and Sr. Technical Marketing Manager Gaby Beitler, illustrate the differences between API gateways and service mesh — and how they work together.

Key Takeaways

• Compare API gateway and service mesh, and patterns for each.
• Understand why security, observability, and reliability are important, both for inter and intra application communications.
• How to build API deployments in a stable way with automated load-balancing and fail-over.
