How to Empower Dev Teams with Kong Manager's Workspaces and Automation

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.
