Presentation held at DOAG 2023 in Nuremberg.
There is no alternative for companies today to introduce an API strategy and set up an API management platform if they want to remain successful in the long term. In times of hybrid, multi-cloud architectures, characteristics such as efficiency, flexibility and manageability are required. A federated API management approach offers all of this.
Kong offers an API gateway that is flexible and extensible and is therefore ideally suited for setting up such an approach. This presentation will introduce how Kong can be used to build an API platform that can be used to securely deploy and manage APIs across multiple environments. In this context, I will cover the following aspects:
- Federated API Management: what it is and how it differs from other approaches
- Features of the Kong API gateway and its capabilities
- Strategies for managing APIs across multiple environments with Kong
- Implementation details and good practices for building a federated API management platform with Kong
The goal of the presentation is to convey the benefits of a federated approach by demonstrating how API development and management can be unified across multiple environments, reducing complexity and overhead and improving overall security and compliance.
