Full Lifecycle API Management in Kubernetes With Envoy and WebAssembly - Brandon Kang, Akamai Technologies & Mostafa Radwan, Datadog
Tuesday June 17, 2025 14:10 - 14:40 JST
Level 1 | Pegasus Ballroom B2+C
As cloud-native applications accelerate in complexity, managing APIs end to end is a top priority. This session introduces a next-generation, Kubernetes-native approach using Envoy Proxy and WebAssembly (Wasm) for dynamic, high-performance traffic control.

We’ll show how Wasm powers real-time policy enforcement, AI-assisted traffic analysis, and advanced rate limiting—without rebuilding Envoy. Attendees will learn how to implement Zero Trust principles, secure multi-tenant API gateways, and deliver external routes with minimal overhead.

Observability enhancements using eBPF and OpenTelemetry will demonstrate how to align trace data with runtime metrics for deeper insights. Finally, we’ll discuss developer onboarding, version governance, and lifecycle management to ensure long-term API success.

A live demo will illustrate ephemeral testing environments, rapid iteration, and how to achieve a future-proof, high-throughput API management layer in Kubernetes.
