We have presented on various thought leadership topics at the last three Kong conferences : virtually at Kong Summit 2021, in person at Kong Summit 2022 in San Francisco and most recently virtually at API Summit by Kong in September 2023.

Our very own Andrew Kew was up on the main stage during the 1st day’s closing Keynote speech with Viktor Gamov, announcing the release of the Kong Operator. We were very proud.

Our very own Andrew Kew spoke to Kong's developer advocate Viktor Gamov about the pillars of observability, distributed tracing on Kubernetes, and tools that can help you get the most out of distributed tracing.

As engineers and architects, we automatically build resilience into platforms as far as possible. But what about the unknown failures? What about the unknown behavior of your platform? The philosopher, Socrates, once said "You don’t know what you don’t know". What if I could tell you there is a way to turn these unknowns into knowns – a way to understand how your platform will behave to specific failure events

Observability essential when working with distributed systems. Built on 3 pillars of metrics, logging and tracing, having the right tools in place to quickly identify and determine the root cause of an issue in production is imperative. In this Kongcast interview, we explore the benefits of having observability and demo the use of Apache SkyWalking. We walk through the capabilities that SkyWalking offers out of the box and debug a common HTTP 500 error using the tool.

The API economy has grown significantly over the past several years, as developers are utilizing more APIs in order to speed application development. According to 451 Research, the typical organization is using an average of over 15,564 APIs, with large enterprises (10,000+ employees) using an average of 25,592 APIs. And 451 Research noted that APIs usage grew an average of 201% in 2021.

With the move to distributed cloud architectures, it's becoming more critical to ensure that our platforms are designed for failure and behave the way we expect in these failure events.

Enter chaos engineering! The practice of injecting controlled failures into your system and observing how it responds to the experiment. Join this talk, where we will discuss the history of chaos engineering, why running everyday chaos engineering experiments is essential, and how you can incorporate this into your current CI/CD pipelines.

Observability is the key to better, faster, more efficient organisations: By creating a big picture view of all operations, APIs, systems and server health, organisations will be better equipped to manage issues as they occur and even predict them in future.
