An iPaaS, or integration platform as a service is a cloud-based integration platform that acts as a central hub to seamlessly connect and manage different applications, data sources, GenAI models, knowledge bases, and AI agents wherever they are deployed—cloud-based, on-premises, or hybrid.

Imagine that you need to know the exact location of the train that you’re about to catch. Trains can be equipped with IoT sensors that can publish location coordinates via Kafka streams in real time. You will be using a mobile application to view a train’s location. Mobile applications and web applications are compatible with WebSocket, a web-friendly protocol, but the location data is received via a Kafka stream. How do we convert the real-time Kafka feed into a real-time WebSocket feed?

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized the CMS-0057-F Interoperability and Prior Authorization Rule, which marks a pivotal shift in U.S. healthcare, requiring payers, providers, and health IT vendors to enable seamless data exchange through FHIR APIs. The rule is designed to reduce administrative burden, improve care coordination, and empower patients with timely access to their health information.

Every year, WSO2Con brings together developers, tech enthusiasts, and IT leaders from around the world to dive into the latest in APIs, identity management, integration, and now AI. It’s a space to learn from keynotes and hands-on sessions, share best practices, and get a first look at what’s new from WSO2. So when people walked into the AI Labs at WSO2Con, they expected to hear about AI agents. What they didn’t expect was to meet one, embodied inside a four-legged robot dog.

Visual diagrams serve as a bridge across centuries, transforming complex systems into simplified forms by using abstraction to illuminate essential relationships and structures. A good example is Leonardo da Vinci’s 15th-century flying machine sketches that remain intuitive and understandable even today, after 500-plus years. That’s the power of architecture diagrams: they simplify complex systems into clear visuals, making complexity understandable now and in the future.

Enterprises often host their backend services within private internal networks, whether in on-premises data centers or restricted cloud environments. This setup is essential for protecting sensitive data, meeting compliance requirements, and reducing exposure to external threats. But it also introduces a major hurdle: how do you let external consumers and partners access the right APIs without opening unnecessary doors into your private infrastructure?
