Course description
Turn internal APIs into public services without getting hacked or overwhelmed. You'll deploy Kong API Gateway to expose a real application with proper authentication and rate limiting, just like Netflix and Spotify do for their APIs.
This practical course shows you how to install Kong on Kubernetes, configure external access through ingress rules, and protect your services with API key authentication. You'll add rate limiting to prevent abuse and ensure legitimate users get fair access.
API gateways are required infrastructure for any serious application. Learn how to secure and expose your services the way production systems actually work.
