A
Hi
everybody
and
welcome
to
kong
summit
augusto
already
mentioned
some
of
the
things
that
we
have
done
together.
But
let's
take
another
look
at
our
journey.
Do
you
remember
the
world
in
2015
our
world
got
rocked
by
new
technologies
like
docker
and
kubernetes,
and
a
new
way
of
doing
things
it
feels
like
yesterday,
but
it
was
more
than
half
a
decade
ago.
A
No
api
gateway
was
able
to
properly
run
in
these
new
environments
because,
as
we
know,
they
were
born
for
a
different
world,
the
soa
and
soap
world,
and
that's
why
we
created
kong
and
look
where
you've
taken
us
over
the
past
12
months.
Kong's
adoption
grew
more
than
the
previous
five
years,
combined
with
over
2.7
million
instances
of
kong
running
everywhere
in
the
world.
A
Kong
started
as
an
api
gateway,
but
today
it
is
much
more
than
that.
Your
adoption
momentum
creates
product
momentum
which
in
turn
fuels
innovation
like
we
can
see
with
hundreds
of
product
releases
we
ship
thousands
of
new
features
like
udp
support
for
our
apis
or
mocking
to
accelerate
api
development.
A
A
A
A
A
I
am
proud
of
what
we've
done
together
and
I'm
proud
of,
where
we're
going.
So,
let's
talk
about
that
to
show
you
these
next
product
announcements,
we
have
to
go
back
and
look
at
the
evolution
of
api
management
throughout
the
years.
A
In
the
prehistoric
era
of
api
management,
api
gateways
were
as
monolithic
as
our
applications.
You
remember,
they
were
hard
to
scale
hard
to
extend.
Their
performance
was
very
slow
back
then
apis
used
to
be
an
afterthought.
Sometimes
we
would
build
an
api
on
top
of
the
monolith
later
on,
for
example,
to
connect
the
monolith
with
a
mobile
application,
but
then,
with
the
introduction
of
new
technologies
like
containers
and
kubernetes,
our
application
changed
apis
were
built
first,
an
api
first
architecture.
A
A
A
A
A
A
As
a
matter
of
fact,
kong
has
worked
with
the
kubernetes
community
to
create
this
new
specification
and
moving
forward
we're
going
to
be
supporting
it
within
this
congestion
gateway
integration.
As
soon
as
it
gets
more
mainstream
all
right,
we
can
download
the
easter
gateway
integration
today
from
konghq.com
install
and
get
up
and
running
today,
with
this
new
product.
