Five Keys for Effective API Management

From banks and healthcare providers to retail enterprises and government agencies, application programming interfaces (APIs) live at the heart of many systems. They have become critical to drive digital initiatives and bring a host of benefits — such as the ability to use APIs created by others; compose enterprise capabilities as reusable units to create new sources of revenue; enable better interactions with customers, suppliers, and providers; and quickly respond to compliance requirements.

With Identity Management, Start Early for Less Tech Debt

First published on The New Stack. A problem starts to reveal itself. The team has finished a minimum viable product’s (MVP) business features, and user personally identifiable information (PII) has merged into the same domain as other core objects. Social logins bring their own attributes that need to be captured but don’t line up.

Top-Down approach to create Managed APIs (API first approach)

The top down approach of API first integration provides the capability for API developers to start creating a managed REST API first in WSO2 API Manager. Then the integration developer can use the same API in the WSO2 Integration Studio to develop the integration later on and expose it to WSO2 API Manager. Thereafter, the API consumers can discover the API from the marketplace, subscribe to it, and use it for application development.

Introducing WSO2 API Manager 4.1

We’re excited to announce that WSO2 API Manager 4.1—a complete platform for building, integrating, and exposing digital services as managed APIs in any environment—is now available. This release improves productivity in development and operations, expands support for different protocols and third-party technologies, and completes the product’s analytics story.

Auto generate data service definitions in WSO2 Integration Studio

WSO2 Integration Studio is a drag-and-drop graphical development environment for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator. It provides efficient integration artifact development and accelerates development lifecycles. You can use Integration Studio to configure data services. Data services are used to expose your data sources as REST or SOAP services. In the previous release of integration studio, the data service had to be designed and configured from scratch, which is time-consuming. This is a limitation when it comes to doing quick demonstrations and also for the first user experience.
