AWS Immersion Day
In-Person, Hands-on Workshop with Kong APJ & AWS
Digital transformation is built on APIs. Modern organisations use APIs to modernize access to legacy systems, liberate siloed data, and break down monolithic applications into smaller, easier to manage components in order to rapidly increase their pace of innovation and deliver new digital experiences. Paramount to successful modernization is an API-first strategy that leverages cloud-native technologies to achieve security, automation, and performance at scale.
