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. 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.
