We're happy to announce the release of a new command-line interface (CLI) tool for our development platform! With this, we aim to bring Choreo to your terminal. This reduces context switching, helps you focus, and enables you to script and create your workflows more easily.

You can install Choreo CLI today on Linux, MacOS, and Windows.

Simply run our installation script for your particular OS

• For Linux and Mac OS

Overview

Authentication and authorization play crucial roles in modern application development. Over the years, the way we implement these security measures has evolved, with protocols like OAuth2/OpenID Connect now being widely used. While web applications can manually implement these protocols, it requires a certain level of expertise. Moreover, when it comes to single-page applications (SPAs), additional measures are necessary to securely manage security tokens on the application side.

Key Takeaways:

• While Kubernetes (K8s) and APIs play key roles in delivering cloud native applications, the lack of first-class support for APIs and API management in K8s introduces complexity in developing and deploying these apps.
• However, the emergence of the Kubernetes Gateway API, which aims to make APIs a core feature on K8s, is driving a shift towards standardization and interoperability.

As the open source leader in IAM, we’re excited to release WSO2 Identity Server 7.0. If you’ve been involved in the IAM space for some time, you might remember that WSO2 Identity Server 5.0 released in 2014, which was a revolutionary product at that time. It brought an innovative experience for identity domain experts to model and implement their access management requirements. 

While the cloud facilitates quicker and easier completion of tasks, it’s important to use resources efficiently. Careless usage can lead to high costs over time. Choreo’s new scale-to-zero feature allows you to minimize costs by scaling down application resource usage to almost zero when not in active use. This capability is a significant step forward towards apps being more resource-conscious and cost-effective.

The Context

App developers seeking simple login integration often find the IAM landscape daunting. Easier said than done when app developers don't live and breath the intricacies of identity standards. With Asgardeo, we have bridged this gap and offer a smooth experience for developers trying to ship their apps as soon as possible. In this post, let's dig into the newly delivered Login Flow Visual Editor and learn about the thinking behind this new capability and what it has to offer.

API management and API security are like two sides of a coin, intrinsically part of a greater whole. That is why the recent KuppingerCole report, “Leadership Compass: API Security and Management,” is particularly useful for organizations seeking to develop or update their API strategies. With the report’s comprehensive view of both API management and security, it offers an invaluable resource for understanding their interplay.
