Open Source Hybrid API Management Platform
DOWNLOAD
WSO2 API Manager is an open source tool that helps users with complete end to end API lifecycle management, monetization, and policy enforcement.
It is a part of a larger ecosystem of WSO2, known as the Integration Agile Platform. The tool can be used to simplify the operations of projects that involve working with both traditional and microservice environments. And since the tool is open source, it allows for complete extensibility and customization. Users can build an API strategy with the help of an API driven marketplace that involves rich documentation and active community contributions. Users can utilize data to make data-driven decisions by leveraging API usage, analytics, and insights. They also receive the flexibility to deploy on-premise resources, use the public cloud, or seamlessly migrate between both environments. The tool can fit into both Monolithic and Microservice Architectures with gateway and micro-gateway capabilities.
