Insomnia isn't just a powerful API client — it's a part of the larger Kong Konnect platform for managing the overall lifecycle of your APIs: build, run, discover, and govern.\n\nDuring this event, we’ll utilize a design-first approach to building a REST API. We’ll leverage Kong Insomnia to design and test this API, then use Kong Konnect to secure and expose this API for consumption. Finally, we’ll follow APIops best practices and implement end-to-end automation over the entire API lifecycle.\n\n### Join this workshop to learn how to:\n\n- Build a REST API with a design-first approach\n- Validate API specifications and automate collection testing using the inso CLI as part of your CI/CD pipelines\n- Leverage decK to enforce best practices and policies across your APIs\n- Build guardrails that ensure only compliant APIs move forward in your SDLC\n\n### Preparation for the Workshop:\n\nPlease make sure you have the following ready:\n\n- Text editor/IDE (e.g. VSCode)\n- Javascript runtime (e.g. node.js)\n- git CLI tool\n- Inso CLI tool\n- decK CLI tool\n- Insomnia account\n- Konnect account\n\nThrough a hands-on demo, we’ll show how these tools help ensure your APIs stay secure, reliable, and aligned with your organizational standards without slowing down delivery.
