From 3scale to Connectivity Link

Migration Workshop — Red Hat Developer Hub · Powered by Kuadrant

Welcome

In this workshop you will learn how to migrate API management from Red Hat 3scale API Management to Red Hat Connectivity Link (Kuadrant), using Red Hat Developer Hub as your self-service developer portal.

The cluster has two sets of pre-deployed applications — one secured by 3scale and one secured by Connectivity Link — running side by side so you can compare them directly.

What you will learn

  • Understand why organizations migrate from 3scale to Connectivity Link

  • Explore the architecture: Developer Hub, ArgoCD, Keycloak, Kuadrant, 3scale, Istio

  • Inspect two 3scale-secured applications (OIDC and API Key)

  • Inspect the equivalent Connectivity Link applications

  • Compare authentication, rate limiting, GitOps, and developer experience side by side

  • Run the migration using a generic Developer Hub Software Template

  • Verify the migrated application and test both environments
