NextAuth is an open source authentication solution for Next.js applications. More information about NextAuth.js is available here.
The rapid growth in the development and use of APIs shows no sign of slowing down, and the central role APIs play in digital business across industries continues to surge right along with that growth. One recent survey of IT leaders found that 98% consider APIs mission critical, with 81% currently working with microservices and 18% planning to do so soon.

DevOps personnel can migrate API Products using WSO2 API Controller, adding more value to the CI/CD process in collaboration with WSO2 API Manager. This blog highlights the use cases of migrating API Products and also specifies different flag usages using WSO2 API Controller 4.1.0. Let’s begin.
WSO2 Identity Server is an API-driven open source IAM product designed to help you build effective CIAM solutions.

Given these unique conditions, monetizing an exposed API requires a different approach compared to monetizing other products. This post discusses how to build a pricing strategy for your APIs and which aspects you should consider.

Say you’re running a web service that requires input. In turn, the web service delivers it to another backend service. If the backend service isn’t available for an extended time, do you have a fail-proof system in place? This is where the circuit breaker design pattern comes in.
Most people in the industrialized world are connected to the internet in one way or another. They may not access the internet directly, but their PI and PII are captured through various interactions with other people and government/private entities.
How can you innovate quickly with APIs? Most companies are already implementing them, and some have success stories to share.
In March 2022, FIDO Alliance and the W3C WebAuthn working group proposed a new version of the WebAuthn specification where they claim to resolve common usability issues with FIDO while ensuring a high level of security. This has started to gain significant attention in the identity domain during the past couple of months especially with the joint announcement from Google, Apple and Microsoft on their extended support for the FIDO passwordless standard.
