Today, we’re announcing an exciting, new partnership with codecentric AG, a leading IT consultancy based in Germany. Through Kong’s growing Go-To-Market (GTM) Partner Program, Codecentric will help German companies accelerate their transition to microservices by adopting Kong Enterprise.
Most business-critical applications today are powered by APIs, so any downtime or performance degradation can lead to significant loss in revenue, customers, and brand value. This puts pressure on operations teams to monitor real-time API performance and security. Adding to the challenge is the need to support new releases and reduce resolution times. And unfortunately, traditional third-party monitoring tools are little to no help when it comes to API operations.
We announced the release of Kuma – a modern, universal control plane for service mesh back in September 2019. Since then, a roaring wave of community feedback and contribution has flooded the project. And that’s a good thing, so thank you to everyone who has given their time to helping Kuma grow. One recurring feedback we got was that the community was excited to see a platform-agnostic service mesh.
Last year, we made a promise. Actually, a few things happened first. Let’s take a step back. Last year, we questioned software experts around the globe via our State of the API survey. It gave us an opportunity to take a hard look into the user experience for ReadyAPI. Results came back with tremendously useful data.
Today, we’re thrilled to release Kong Studio 1.0, our spec-first design and development tool for APIs leveraging the power of Insomnia! In this release, you’ll find the ability to design specifications, sync with git, convert your spec into requests for debugging purposes and more.
