Agenda
18:00 - 18:30 Networking, Snacks & Drinks
18:30 - 19:15 [Talk 1] The End of Hardcoding AI Access by Sven Walther (Principal Solutions Engineer, Kong)
19:15 - 20:00 [Talk 2] Taming Kubernetes Traffic: Secure, Scalable, and Observable with Kong Gateway by Sven Bernhardt (Chief Architect, OPITZ CONSULTING Deutschland GmbH)
20:00 - 21:00 Q&A, Networking, Snacks & Drinks

Talks
1) The End of Hardcoding AI Access
When starting your AI journey you typically build all your LLM access including access control, prompt guarding, caching, observability and more over and over again in code. How about the possibility to not only automate all of this by using declarative configuration but also to get a company wide standard which can be adopted in seconds for all LLMs at once?

We will have a look a the architecture of the Kong AI Gateway how it can be used both de-centralized and centralized at the same time and see this all live in action on examples with different LLM providers in the same setup

2) Taming Kubernetes Traffic: Secure, Scalable, and Observable with Kong Gateway
Kubernetes is powerful, but API chaos is just around the corner without structure, visibility, and security. Enter Kong Gateway, your traffic controller and policy enforcer in the fast-moving world of microservices.
In this session, you’ll learn how to integrate Kong into Kubernetes using the Kong Ingress Controller for intelligent routing, authentication, rate limiting, and service discovery.

We’ll also explore how the Kong Gateway Operator enables centralized management of multi-tenant, multi-gateway environments, with built-in support for TLS termination, secrets management, and observability via Prometheus and Grafana.

To avoid the usual YAML sprawl, we’ll look at how GitOps and Infrastructure as Code help version, roll out, and automate gateway configurations in a reliable and auditable way.

Mi., 28. Mai 2025, 15:00 UTCMaximize Efficiency and Reduce AI & Platform Costs with Unified API Management
Link für Teilnehmer sichtbar
In today’s economic climate operational efficiency and cost optimization are more important than ever. As your API footprint grows, so does the complexity of managing it—unless you have the right strategy and tools in place.

Join us for a deep dive into how Kong’s API management platform empowers organizations to reduce operational overhead and realize significant cost savings. We'll explore how to control infrastructure costs, streamline workflows, and improve resource allocation—all without compromising security, performance, or developer agility.

Whether you’re seeking to reduce your total cost of ownership, simplify operations across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, or improve team productivity, this session will arm you with the insights needed to make impactful changes today.

Key Takeaways:

Streamline Development & Access Control: Boost developer productivity with automation, self-service workflows, and a unified developer portal, while enforcing secure governance using RBAC and consumer group policies.

Centralize Management & Reduce Costs: Achieve vendor consolidation by managing all deployments—self-managed, SaaS, and hybrid—from a single platform, lowering operational overhead and simplifying infrastructure oversight.

Optimize AI Workloads & Performance: Reduce AI inference costs and improve response times by minimizing processed data, leading to more efficient compute usage and faster, more cost-effective user experiences.

Do., 12. Juni 2025, 16:00 UTCAPI Developer Day with Kong Insomnia and Kong Konnect
Link für Teilnehmer sichtbar
Build, run, discover, and govern your APIs as part of an automated pipeline

Registere Here

Insomnia isn't just a powerful API client — it's a part of the larger Kong Konnect platform for managing the overall lifecycle of your APIs: build, run, discover, and govern.

During this event, we’ll utilize a design first approach to building a REST API. We’ll leverage Kong Insomnia to design and test this API and then use Kong Konnect to secure and expose this API for consumption. Finally, we’ll follow APIops best practices and implement end-to-end automation over the entire API lifecycle.

Join this workshop to learn how to:

Build a REST API with a design first approach

Validate API specifications and automate collection testing using the inso CLI as part of your CI/CD pipelines

Leverage decK to enforce best practices and policies across your APIs

Build guardrails that ensure only compliant APIs move forward in your SDLC

In preparation for the workshop, please make sure you have the following ready:

Text editor/IDE (e.g. VSCode)

Javascript runtime (e.g. node.js)

git CLI tool

Inso CLI tool

decK CLI tool

Insomnia account

Konnect account

Through a hands-on demo, we’ll show how these tools help ensure your APIs stay secure, reliable, and aligned with your organizational standards without slowing down delivery.
