WSO2 API Manager, the 100% Open Source API Management solution

WSO2 API Manager is the API Management solution offered by WSO2 the opensource software editor.

This solution is not a simple technical gateway as can be offered by other major publishers on the market: it covers the entire life cycle of a managed API from creation, publication, subscription until naturally invocation.

WSO2 API Manager can handle many service API protocols out of the box: REST, SOAP, GraphQL, Websockets.

A portal (Developer Portal) makes it possible to publish the offered APIs and thus promote the business capacities offered by the Information System (IS) to external or internal API consumers. This portal allows application developers (these applications are the ‘consumers’) to subscribe to APIs.

This solution can be integrated into development and continuous integration chains (CD / CI) allowing APIs to be promoted from one environment to another.

From a security point of view the solution is based on the OAuth2 standard.

The solution also offers an Analytics module to track usage related to API consumption in particular. However, it can be integrated with market monitoring solutions such as the ELK stack based on ELASTIC SEARCH or Splunk.

The solution can be used in the Cloud, On Premise or in mixed mode.

This is a true Open Source solution, all of the code for which is available and whose functionalities are not restricted or made accessible by paying for a license: the solution can be used in production without requiring a license.

However, WSO2 offers a subscription to ensure very efficient production support 365/7/24, which allows you to benefit from regular updates of the solution as well as security patches before they are made public.

WSO2 API Manager has been cited for many years as a leader by independent organizations Gartner and Forrester.
