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.
