# How to Empower Dev Teams with Kong Manager's Workspaces and Automation
Event Ended
See how Kong Manager's workspaces and teams features can empower developer teams to build, manage, and automate their own API environments on a shared Kong Gateway while maintaining consistency and governance.
## Building Custom API Environments on Shared Kong Gateway
Here's some content for the H2 "Building Custom API Environments on Shared Kong Gateway":
Kong Manager's workspace feature allows development teams to build and manage their own custom API environments on a shared Kong Gateway infrastructure. This approach offers several key benefits:
- - Resource Efficiency: Teams can leverage a common Kong Gateway instance, reducing infrastructure costs and maintenance overhead.
- - Isolation and Flexibility: Each workspace acts as a separate, isolated environment, giving teams the freedom to configure and manage their APIs independently.
- - Customization: Teams can tailor their API environments to specific project needs, including custom plugins, rate limiting, and authentication methods.
- - Scalability: As projects grow, teams can easily scale their workspace without affecting other environments on the shared gateway.
- - Collaboration: Workspaces facilitate easier collaboration within teams, as members can access and manage shared API configurations.
- - Version Control: Teams can implement version control for their API configurations, making it easier to track changes and roll back if needed.
By utilizing Kong Manager's workspace feature, organizations can strike a balance between giving development teams the autonomy they need and maintaining overall control and consistency across the API infrastructure.
