Kong / Destination: Scale

Lens, the Kubernetes IDE, is an open source Kubernetes dashboard that enables users to easily see what objects are running in their cluster and interact with them. In that way, it has been helping to take some of the pain out of Kubernetes operations and development, but now it includes features specifically aimed at those of us with large environments.

Edward Ionel, Lens – Lead Growth / Product Marketing Manager, leads a lively demo showing just why we think the new version if Lens is a major revision, and how we think it will lighten the load for all of us. Viewers will leave with an understanding of new features in Lens that include new ways to collaborate.

Like many other organizations, Datadog started with larger code bases and VMs, but scaling the company to several hundred engineers while building a system that can handle trillions of data points every day required a shift in how we work and the tools we use.

In this session from Destination: Scale, Waldo G (Evangelist at Datadog) shares tips for how to break apart your monoliths and large code bases into faster, loosely coupled services. He also shres advice for managing your services and how to troubleshoot issues in a microservice environment. Plus strategies for getting buy-in and alignment across your organization.

ManoMano is a french DIY marketplace that faces scalability issues due to its hyper-growth — 100% growth in 2020 to €1.2 billion. To tackle this challenge, their website has slowly transformed from a “classic” backend application serving html to a microservices-based architecture.

In this talk from Destination: Scale, Isaac Dominguez - Site Reliability Engineer, ​Aurélien LAJOIE - Head of Architecture, Core and Platform ​and Bastien Lacombe - Software Developer at ManoMano show how Kong, first used as a classic gateway component, has progressively become a key element in our infrastructure and helped us deploy a hybrid mesh ecosystem in the cloud.

They also discuss the importance of a DDD approach to drive API vision instead of a simple microservice migration. And how they quickly adopted Kong across all their teams by providing the vision, tooling and autonomy to each developer and SRE. Plus where they are today with a hybrid mesh ecosystem in the cloud and how Kong helps sustain their growth and cloud adoption.

Are we vulnerable to [insert latest CVE here]? Are we affected by [insert popular attack here]? How much time and effort do we need to fix [insert recent security issue here]? As simple as these questions may sound, the answers are rarely straightforward these days.

With the proliferation of microservices came the explosion of custom modules, libraries and makeshift solutions adopted by each individual development team to deliver on security and compliance requirements. While these solutions work, they’re extremely hard to manage and fix at scale, especially when there’s imminent risk for your organization.

In this Destination: Scale session, Ahmed Koshok, Solutions Engineer at Kong and Erdem Menges, Director, Enterprise Product Marketing at Kong discusses the current issues with a fragmented approach to security and compliance, and propose a centralized, efficient approach to handle security and compliance at scale.

They also take it one step further and share three practical examples of the proposed solution using Kong Konnect.

In this session from Destination: Scale, Jelena Duma Sr. Director, Enterprise Architecture at NexJ shares how they scaled down in order to scale up by moving to a microservices architecture. She also shares best practices for other organizations that are also looking to scale and reach new audiences.

In the traditional datacenter, distributed workloads simply existed across multiple datacenters. As businesses evolve their applications in the cloud native era, this degree of distribution scales as well. Workloads landing in multiple VPCs grow in commonality, and in many cases exist between cloud environments.

In this Destination: Scale session, Cody De Arkland - Principal Technical Marketing Engineer, Service Mesh, Office of the CTO - shows how Kuma provides a method to connect these applications through its advanced multi-zone capabilities, and how this model enables global scale.

He also demonstrates how this global control plane provides a method of delivering self-service application connectivity through a policy driven approach all while enabling zero trust security and observability.

Typically, there are two options to ensuring APIs have the right governance: manual checks or long documentation (or both). There is now a third option in APIOps — integrating your GitOps process with the API lifecycle, automating the enforcement of API standards from design time. This ensures API security, quality, consistency and resiliency across distributed teams at scale, therefore improving productivity for developers and operators whilst reducing risk overall.

In this session from Destination: Scale, Melissa van der Hecht (Kong Field CTO, EMEA) shares how you can automate API standards and security as well as deployment to scale your efforts, by removing the back and forth of release checks and balances.
