API Gateway for Distributed SaaS Deployments for Symphony

SaaS cloud deployments are highly distributed with workflows that stitch them together to deliver differentiated services at scale and on-demand. When regulated verticals like finance customers use such deployments, the requirements around security, compliance and visibility, access control, tenant-separation with authentication/authorization, rate-limiting, ability to connect to federated identity solutions — and above all — resilience, availability and DR become critical to such deployment topology. As Symphony delivers secure collaboration solutions for FinTech with its distributed cloud stack, we will discuss how Kong played an important role as an API gateway in achieving the specific requirements above and share a customer perspective of Kong.
