This hands-on Developer Day builds on the first two workshops (Platform setup and APIOps automation) to deliver a complete developer experience. You’ll stand up a Kong Konnect Developer Portal with self-registration and application onboarding, wire the portal to an OIDC identity provider for SSO and token issuance, and publish APIs and docs from your APIOps pipeline. In parallel, you’ll assemble an observability stack with Grafana, connecting metrics, logs, and traces from Kong gateways and backend services to create actionable dashboards and alerts. By the end, platform teams will have clear guardrails and automation, while API and app teams get a governed, self-service path from discovery to secure consumption—backed by meaningful telemetry.

Key Takeaways
- Configure the Konnect Developer Portal with self-registration, app credentials, and approval workflows.
- Integrate an OIDC IdP for SSO, role mapping, and token issuance for portal users and applications.
- Automate API and documentation publishing to the portal from your APIOps (GitOps/CI) pipeline.
- Export gateway metrics/logs/traces and build Grafana dashboards for health, latency, error rates, and usage.
- Define SLOs and alerts to turn observability into operational action.
- Split responsibilities: platform teams provide guardrails and automation; API teams manage products and docs; app teams self-serve access.
- Produce a reusable reference implementation you can adapt to your organization’s environment.

Insomnia isn't just a powerful API client — it's a part of the larger Kong Konnect platform for managing the overall lifecycle of your APIs: build, run, discover, and govern.

During this event, we’ll utilize a design first approach to building a REST API.  We’ll leverage Kong Insomnia to design and test this API and then use Kong Konnect to secure and expose this API for consumption. Finally, we’ll follow APIops best practices and implement end-to-end automation over the entire API lifecycle..

We will first start with a presentation and then transition into a workshop during which you will learn how to:
- Build a REST API with a design first approach
- Validate API specifications and automate collection testing using the inso CLI as part of your CI/CD pipelines
- Leverage decK to enforce best practices and policies across your APIs
- Build guardrails that ensure only compliant APIs move forward in your SDLC

In preparation for the workshop, please make sure you have the following ready:
- Text editor/IDE (e.g. VSCode)
- Javascript runtime (e.g. node.js)
- git CLI tool
- Inso CLI tool
- decK CLI tool
- Insomnia & Konnect accounts

Through a hands-on demo, we’ll show how these tools help ensure your APIs stay secure, reliable, and aligned with your organizational standards without slowing down delivery.
