We’re delighted to announce the release of WSO2 API Manager 4.3, a significant upgrade that enhances your API ecosystem's performance, security, and scalability. WSO2 API Manager, an industry-leading open source API management solution, offers a unified platform for creating, publishing, and overseeing APIs, enabling organizations to securely expose their services with both internal and external stakeholders.

We're excited to introduce WSO2 API Platform for Kubernetes (WSO2 APK) 1.1, a key update to our Kubernetes-native API management solution. This release leverages the strengths of Kubernetes to offer high-performance and cloud-scale API management, ensuring automation, reliability, and improved developer experiences. Traditional API management solutions aren't built for Kubernetes environments, leading to issues with performance, scalability, and manual configuration.

We all love the ease and affordability of SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) tools. We expect our SaaS apps to be available whenever we need them, building our business processes around this assumption. At WSO2, we are grateful that many organizations trust our SaaS solutions, and we continually work to ensure this trust is well-founded. It’s worth taking a moment to understand the impact when those mission-critical apps go offline. Just one minute of downtime can cost businesses thousands of dollars.

We're happy to announce the release of a new command-line interface (CLI) tool for our development platform! With this, we aim to bring Choreo to your terminal. This reduces context switching, helps you focus, and enables you to script and create your workflows more easily. You can install Choreo CLI today on Linux, MacOS, and Windows. Simply run our installation script for your particular OS.

Authentication and authorization play crucial roles in modern application development. Over the years, the way we implement these security measures has evolved, with protocols like OAuth2/OpenID Connect now being widely used. While web applications can manually implement these protocols, it requires a certain level of expertise. Moreover, when it comes to single-page applications (SPAs), additional measures are necessary to securely manage security tokens on the application side.

As the open source leader in IAM, we’re excited to release WSO2 Identity Server 7.0. If you’ve been involved in the IAM space for some time, you might remember that WSO2 Identity Server 5.0 released in 2014, which was a revolutionary product at that time. It brought an innovative experience for identity domain experts to model and implement their access management requirements.

While the cloud facilitates quicker and easier completion of tasks, it’s important to use resources efficiently. Careless usage can lead to high costs over time. Choreo’s new scale-to-zero feature allows you to minimize costs by scaling down application resource usage to almost zero when not in active use. This capability is a significant step forward towards apps being more resource-conscious and cost-effective.

WSO2 Identity Server is the leading open source IAM solution. It is a powerful, modern access management solution for your on-premises or cloud environment that provides secure access for your consumers (B2C), enterprise customers (B2B), workforce (B2E), or APIs. WSO2 Identity Server manages more than 1 billion identities worldwide, and its extensibility allows it to support the most complex IAM requirements.
