· Distributed microservices abstraction layers with Kong (Thijs Schreijer, Kong).
Kong is a cloud-native, fast, scalable, and distributed Microservice Abstraction Layer (also known as an API Gateway, API Middleware or in some cases Service Mesh). Made available as an open-source project in 2015, its core values are high performance and extensibility.
During this talk we’ll give an introduction to what Kong can do, and do a short demonstration of the Kong Ingress Controller for Kubernetes.
Thijs Schreijer has been working in IT for almost 25 years. He had many different roles from management consultant to service manager to software engineer, in just as many disciplines, infrastructure, outsourcing, testing and software development. He joined the startup Kong Inc in 2015 and is currently holding the position of Solutions Architect at Kong Inc where he helps clients in making the transition to microservices.
