In today’s digital landscape, APIs are the backbone of innovation and connectivity. However, as API ecosystems grow in scale and complexity, ensuring optimal performance and reliability becomes increasingly challenging. That’s where observability and monitoring step in—empowering organizations to proactively manage, diagnose, and resolve API issues before they impact users.

Join us for an in-depth webinar, “Unlocking API Excellence: Monitoring & Observability with Kong,” where our experts will explore the critical role of observability in API performance optimization. Discover how Kong’s robust suite of tools provides real-time visibility into API operations, enabling you to track key metrics, swiftly diagnose bottlenecks, and drive operational excellence.

Whether you’re aiming to minimize downtime, enhance security, or deliver seamless user experiences, this session will equip you with actionable strategies and best practices for leveraging observability data to elevate your API game.

Key Takeaways:

1. Master the Importance of API Observability:
Understand why monitoring and observability are essential pillars of modern API management, ensuring continuous performance and early detection of issues.
2. Unlock Kong’s Monitoring Capabilities:
Learn how to leverage Kong’s powerful observability tools to monitor API traffic, latency, error rates, and other vital metrics in real time.
3. Drive Reliability and User Satisfaction: Discover proven techniques to use observability data for active troubleshooting, optimizing performance, and delivering consistently reliable API experiences to your users.

Discover the fundamentals of delivering API management as a platform service with Kong Konnect.

In this introductory workshop, we’ll explore essential concepts and methodologies that Platform Providers use to provide scalable, self-service API management capabilities to Platform Consumers.

Who should attend? Platform Engineers, Platform Owners, SREs, and anyone building an internal API platform.

Design for Federation
\- Map the “Provider \- Consumer” contract so platform teams and product teams can work autonomously\.
\- Navigate Kong Konnect’s multi\-tenant architecture to isolate teams while sharing global policies\.
\- Model RBAC and system accounts for fully programmatic workflows—no ticket queues\.

Operationalize at Scale
\- Onboard new teams in minutes using templated provisioning and GitOps pipelines\.
\- Give teams Infrastructure autonomy with governed self\-provisioning of Platform resources\.
\- Integrate external systems \(e\.g\.\, S3\, Vault\) for secrets and artifacts\.

Throughout live demos and in-depth walkthroughs, you’ll build a reference blueprint you can take back to your org.

Ready to go deeper? This session sets you up for our 201 Workshop and Automations Developer Day.

**Synopsis**

***Talk 1: Beyond unit tests: How Agent Simulations are redefining AI Agent testing***

AI agents are growing more capable but also more complex reasoning through multiple steps, using external tools, and acting with autonomy. Traditional testing methods and static evaluations often miss failures that emerge in real-world, dynamic environments. But what if we could model realistic agent‑user and tool‑interactions, stress test behavior over time, and catch defects before deployment?

In this session, Rogerio (CTO, LangWatch) demonstrates how agent simulations expose hidden failure modes, validate behavioral robustness, and support continuous regression detection. Attendees will learn hands‑on techniques to:

* Simulate end‑to‑end user‑agent workflows and tool integrations
* Measure performance across diverse scenarios and over time
* Detect regressions early and benchmark agent improvements
* Integrate simulation‑based testing into CI/CD pipelines
* Avoid common pitfalls in designing realistic test / evaluations environments for AI apps.

By the end, participants will understand how simulation‑driven evaluation elevates confidence in AI agent reliability, enabling safer and more scalable development and deployment.

***Talk 2: Agentic AI & APIs – Building for the Next Wave of Intelligence***

We’re entering the Agentic AI era—where intelligent agents don’t just respond, but plan, reason, take action, and interact with the world via APIs.In this talk, Deepak Grewal (Staff Solutions Engineer at Kong) explores how the API landscape is evolving to support this new generation of autonomous AI agents. You’ll learn:

* What Agentic AI is and why 2025 could be its breakout year
* The 3 core requirements for autonomous agents
* How APIs are becoming the new “power outlets” for cognitive capabilities
* What makes an API “Agent Ready”
* How to prepare your API platform to enable intelligent agents

Whether you’re building APIs, working with LLMs, or just curious about the intersection of AI and infrastructure—this session will give you a clear, actionable view of what’s coming next.

**Speakers**

***Rogerio Chaves CTO, LangWatch***
Rogério is the co-founder and CTO of LangWatch, a leading platform for LLM observability and AI agent testing. With over 15 years of experience in software engineering and machine learning, including his time at [Booking.com](http://booking.com/)[,](http://booking.com,/) he experienced firsthand the challenges of not knowing what comes out of your models in production. That pain became the motivation for founding LangWatch: to help teams ship GenAI features confidently.

***Deepak Grewal, Staff Solutions Engineer, Kong***
Deepak Grewal is a Senior Solutions Engineer at Kong, specializing in Service Mesh & API Management and working with Kong’s customers in the Benelux region.
