Filtering events in REST APIs lets you request only the data you need, improving efficiency, reducing server load, and speeding up responses. The process involves using query parameters and operators to define conditions for retrieving specific records, like filtering by date, category, or status. Here's the core idea: Query Parameters: Add key-value pairs to the URL (e.g., ?date=2022-03-01) to filter events by specific fields.

EU-based organizations, particularly those in regulated sectors such as Financial Services, Energy, and Telecommunications, are required to store and process data strictly within the EU to legally comply with regulatory frameworks such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The longstanding Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE) database has vitally guided security teams for over 20 years, connecting cybersecurity experts, developers, vendors, and researchers in their shared ability to track unknown vulnerabilities in software. But in April of 2025, the MITRE CVE database program was in jeopardy. U.S. government funding for CVE, managed by MITRE and sponsored by CISA, was set to expire. Only in the 11th hour was funding secured, and the contract extended — for now.

The API ecosystem is rapidly expanding into the world of AI. Enterprises are increasingly integrating generative AI services like OpenAI, Claude, and AWS Bedrock into their workflows, but face challenges with secure, governed, and scalable integrations. That’s why Bijira, WSO2’s AI-native API management SaaS platform, introduces AI Gateway support. This is a purpose-built solution to create, expose, and manage AI service integrations as first-class APIs.

We're excited to announce an enhancement to the WSO2 Support Portal: our new Call Management feature! This update is designed to streamline how you request and manage calls for your support cases, making the process more efficient and transparent.

Distributed tracing is a method to track requests across interconnected systems, providing visibility into how data flows through complex pipelines. It helps identify bottlenecks, troubleshoot errors, and improve system performance. Here's what you need to know: Why It Matters: Traditional logging often misses the big picture in distributed systems. Tracing connects the dots, enabling root cause analysis, performance monitoring, and improved reliability.

API protocol benchmarking helps you measure and compare the performance of communication protocols like REST, GraphQL, and gRPC in microservices. It’s not just about speed - it’s about finding the protocol that works best for your system under realistic conditions. Benchmarking identifies bottlenecks, helps with scalability, and ensures your architecture performs well under load.
