The Grand Adventure of Production Apps: Build, Break, and Survive! ~ A Kawaii Manga Journey Through - Aoi Motomura, Independent

Monday June 16, 2025 15:50 - 16:20 JST

Level 1 | Pegasus Ballroom B2+C

"I've started to understand the basics of Kubernetes, but when it comes to running it in production, I can't quite imagine what kind of issues might arise..."
To ease these concerns, this session will use original characters, illustrations, and animations in a “cute manga” style to visually demonstrate how production applications can break and how to troubleshoot them.
In our story, the main application as a character takes center stage as the hero, venturing out on a grand journey—only to be "suddenly attacked by a monster" at the most inopportune moment. By following this storyline, you will learn both how applications fail and how to fix them. Additionally, just as an adventurer equips better armor to prepare for future battles, we will explore common issues and explain how to prevent them from happening in the first place.
Join us on an exciting adventure in "manga-style troubleshooting" and gain the confidence to tackle production Kubernetes challenges head-on!

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.
