At Ambassador, we're more than just a cloud-native application development company. We're a catalyst for change in how enterprises design, deploy, and manage microservices on Kubernetes.
Join us to learn about best practices for releasing functionality via continuous delivery pipelines, and investigate the latest developer tooling, Kubernetes API gateway technology, and service mesh implementations.
In our "Livin' On The Edge" series, we interview practitioners and senior technical leaders from organizations such as HashiCorp, Lyft, GitHub, Ticket Master, Buoyant, and more.
