Kubernetes has revolutionized container orchestration, and with it comes the challenge of managing traffic into and out of clusters. While Ingress has been our go-to solution for external access, it has limitations, like only supporting L7 workloads and struggling with multi-cluster and multi-tenant scenarios.
That's where the Gateway API comes in! In this talk, Kong's principal developer advocate, Viktor Gamov, will dive into the world of Ingress management and show how the Gateway API is changing the game. We'll explore the API's versatility in handling HTTP services, gRPC applications, and non-L7 workloads like TCP/UDP. Get ready to discover advanced routing, enhanced load balancing, and multi-cluster support.
Join Viktor as we journey into the Ingress-Verse, expanding our networking horizons and stepping into a future where Kubernetes traffic management is more powerful and flexible.

In this talk, we're cutting through the fluff to give developers a straightforward guide on using Testcontainers for data-intensive applications. You'll see how to set up, test, and tear down Kafka and Pinot instances in Docker with ease, ensuring your apps are solid under real-world conditions. This session has practical examples, tips, and tricks to get your testing game on point. Whether a beginner or a seasoned pro, you'll walk away with the know-how to boost your development workflow and make your data-driven apps more reliable. So, let's dive in and start testing smarter!

Abstract: API management is essential in the digital age, and API Lifecycle Automation (APIOps) simplifies the process by embracing automation frameworks for API best practices. “APIOps Unchained” highlights the power of APIOps in creating seamless end-user workflows, while acknowledging the difference between API design and policy enforcement, and the various policy application stages in a review process.

Viktor Gamov from Kong will demonstrate the APIOps workflow using open-source tools (Kong's deck and inso) and popular collaboration platforms, like GitHub , enabling businesses to harness the full potential of APIOps. To cater to diverse workflows, a new set of tools is being developed for effortless configuration file manipulation. Whether your company is design-first or not, APIOps has your back. Use either an OpenAPI spec or a declarative config file as input, providing flexibility for businesses of all types and sizes.

Get ready to elevate your API management game and dive into the endless possibilities of APIOps for your organization with Viktor Gamov's expert guidance and hands-on examples.
