Make Integrations a Competitive Advantage

​Ship faster. Reduce risk. Open doors to partners.
Top teams treat integrations as a product, not plumbing. We’ll walk through decisions that can turn an integration landscape into a real competitive advantage: where synchronous vs. asynchronous fits, how to keep control without slowing delivery, and how to govern at scale.

​This event is Co-hosted by Irori and Kong🔥🦍

​Who should attend

​For leaders & managers👔
How to regain control of a sprawling IT landscape so you can launch services faster and safely open internal capabilities to partners without compromising integrity.

​For engineers & architects🧑‍💻
No hype, just practical patterns you can use next sprint: bridging synchronous and asynchronous flows, setting guardrails for security and observability, and keeping governance lightweight.

​The talks

​Bridging sync and async integrations
Most organizations run both synchronous APIs and event/streaming patterns. The challenge: security, observability, and governance often live in separate toolchains. We’ll show a practical way to close that gap: use a shared domain model to define consistent contracts, then apply simple patterns for interfaces, versioning, and ownership so delivery speeds up, not down. Speaker: Gustav Norbäcker (Irori)

​How Kong brings API ecosystems together
A tour of the modern API landscape and how it comes together in Kong Konnect, including support for AsyncAPI and the Event Gateway. See a demo of how to manage and govern APIs and events in one place to simplify developer experience and scale your ecosystem. Speaker: Johannes Brännström (Kong)
