[Developer Day] Developer Experience in Practice: Developer Portal, Observability & Identity with Kong Konnect

In preparation for this Developer Day, check out the recordings from our Workshops leading up to it:
1. Kong Konnect Automations 101: Introduction to API Platform-as-a-Service Concepts and Delivery Methods
2. [Workshop] Kong Konnect Automations 201: APIOps in Action - Automating the API Lifecycle with Kong Konnect
This hands-on Developer Day builds on the first two workshops (Platform setup and APIOps automation) to deliver a complete developer experience. You’ll stand up a Kong Konnect Developer Portal with self-registration and application onboarding, wire the portal to an OIDC identity provider for SSO and token issuance, and publish APIs and docs from your APIOps pipeline.

In parallel, you’ll configure Konnect Analytics to capture metrics and usage data from your Kong gateways and services. By the end, platform teams will have clear guardrails and automation, while API and app teams get a governed, self-service path from discovery to secure consumption—backed by actionable analytics.

Key Takeaways
- Configure the Konnect Developer Portal with self-registration, app credentials, and approval workflows.
- Integrate an OIDC IdP for SSO, role mapping, and token issuance for portal users and applications.
- Automate API and documentation publishing to the portal from your APIOps (GitOps/CI) pipeline.
- Set up Konnect Analytics to collect and visualize API consumption and performance metrics.
- Split responsibilities: platform teams provide guardrails and automation; API teams manage products and docs; app teams self-serve access.
- Produce a reusable reference implementation you can adapt to your organization’s environment.
