Choreo now allows you to specify WSO2’s Micro Integrator runtime version and update level when deploying integrations. Previously, Choreo defaulted all deployments of WSO2 Micro Integrator projects to a specific runtime version and update level.

This improvement simplifies the development and troubleshooting process for integration developers.

We're delighted to unveil Choreo API Chat, Choreo's innovative approach to interacting with APIs, powered by Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) 3.5 large language model (LLM) from Azure OpenAI. This allows users to try out APIs running or proxied via Choreo using natural language, serving as a complementary tool to traditional methods. It offers a convenient way to quickly try out endpoints without delving deeply into API specifications or crafting intricate JSON payloads.

One of the main challenges API producers face is making improvements and enhancements to their APIs without getting their clients to upgrade API versions (i.e., change their applications).

We're excited to roll out our new feature: Data Streams. This feature unlocks new opportunities with the integration of Webhooks and Data Streams, transforming the way you tap into real-time data.
