Accelerate Your Financial Services API Strategy in AWS with Kong Konnect

About this Webinar

AWS & Kong Immersion Day – Hands-On Workshop

Digital transformation is built on APIs. Financial organizations 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.

In this Hands-On workshop, Eric Baran, Principal Sales Leader – DevOps – Global Financial Services at AWS, Sanjay Dandeker, Principal Solutions Architect – Global Financial Services at AWS, and Greg Peranich, Sr. Solutions Engineer at Kong will demonstrate the ways Konnect can help your organization adopt a federated API management model throughout their lifecycle, and show how the API Gateway pattern can be used for modernization with Kong to:

• Decentralize Applications and Services – Break down monoliths into services or build new applications with distributed architectures to accelerate your journey to microservices, Kubernetes, and service mesh.
• Secure and Govern APIs and Services – Provide consistent security, governance, and compliance across APIs and services.
• Create a Developer Platform – Provide an internal developer platform built for distributed architectures.
• Offload critical and complex processing out of services and microservices.

Come and see why top financial organizations like Vanguard and ANZ have chosen Kong for their full-lifecycle API Management needs.

Attendees will follow the AWS Setup, Kong Konnect, Kong Konnect Service Hub, Kong Konnect Runtime Manager, Kong Plugins, and Monitoring.
