Documentation


WSO2 API Manager is a complete platform for building, integrating, and exposing your digital services as managed APIs in the cloud, on-premise, and hybrid architectures to drive your digital transformation strategy.

It allows API developers to design, publish, and manage the lifecycle of APIs and API product managers to create API products from one or more APIs.

Components


WSO2 API Manager offers multiple components designed to work together to solve the challenges of diverse infrastructure requirements. A unified control plane supporting multiple gateways provides deployment flexibility, minimizes downtime, and provides scalability and resource optimization by allowing independent component management, flexible deployment packages, and seamless upgrades and maintenance. For more information see Architecture.
