Choreo March 2025 Release: Enhancing Platform Engineering, Observability, and Cost Optimization

Choreo’s March 2025 release marks a significant step forward in making the platform more adaptable and efficient for enterprises. With this release, we are expanding our focus beyond developers to include platform engineers as first-class citizens, enhancing observability, improving CI/CD flexibility for privately owned data planes, introducing self-service private data plane provisioning, optimizing infrastructure costs with AI-driven FinOps, and streamlining API management with APIOps. Here’s a closer look at what’s new:

Platform Engineering Perspective

Choreo has traditionally been developer-centric, but platform engineers play a crucial role in shaping enterprise infrastructure and workflows. With this release, we introduce the Platform Engineering Perspective, a new way for platform engineers to log in and configure the platform to align with their organization’s needs. This ensures that Choreo is not just an application development environment but also a robust platform engineering tool, offering better control over infrastructure, security, and compliance.

Application Health Monitoring and Alerting

Organizations need visibility into their applications to ensure smooth operations. Choreo now offers Application Health Monitoring and Alerting, allowing platform engineers, application owners, and business stakeholders to configure alerts based on critical metrics. Whether it’s a business function missing SLAs or a service experiencing frequent failures, this feature ensures that the right stakeholders are notified promptly, enabling proactive issue resolution.

Customizable CI for Private Data Planes

Many enterprise customers use Choreo’s Private Data Planes (PDPs) to deploy workloads in their own Kubernetes clusters. Previously, customers had to manage custom CI workflows externally and integrate them with Choreo’s CD pipelines. With this update, Choreo now supports customizable CI for PDPs, allowing customers to modify built-in CI pipelines. Users can now add, modify, or remove steps within their CI workflows, giving them the flexibility to adapt the automation process to their specific requirements.

Self-Service Private Data Plane Provisioning

Provisioning a Private Data Plane (PDP) in Choreo is now a seamless self-service operation. Instead of requiring WSO2’s SRE team to handle back-office operations, users can now provision a PDP with a single click. Simply select your cloud provider, region, and cluster size, and Choreo will handle the rest. This accelerates deployment timelines and gives enterprises full control over their infrastructure. This feature is currently in private beta, and you can request access by sending an email to [email protected] to try it out.

Cost Optimization with AI-Powered FinOps

Efficient cost management is a growing concern for enterprises running workloads at scale. Choreo’s new AI-powered FinOps feature provides detailed insights into infrastructure costs and automatically adjusts resource allocations based on real-time usage patterns. By eliminating over-provisioning and under-provisioning of resources, this feature ensures that applications run optimally without unnecessary infrastructure costs.

Self-Serviceable Continuous Deployment (CD) Pipelines

Previously, Choreo allowed you to dynamically create environments and define a single deployment pipeline. However, having multiple deployment pipelines in an organization required back-office operations. With this release, platform engineers can now create multiple deployment pipelines without writing any code or YAML. Each project can now have multiple deployment pipelines, with one active at a time. This enables developers to roll out hotfixes faster and deploy to multiple regions and cloud providers more efficiently.

APIOps: Simplified API Proxy Management

Managing API proxies can be a complex task, especially in fast-paced development environments. Choreo’s new APIOps capabilities automate the creation and management of API proxies by maintaining API definitions in a Git repository. This streamlines API workflows, ensuring that access to upstream APIs is securely and efficiently managed without manual intervention. Developers can now implement API changes using Git-based workflows, improving agility and reliability.

With these new capabilities, Choreo continues to evolve as a powerful Internal Developer Platform that caters to both developers and platform engineers. Whether you’re looking to optimize infrastructure costs, improve observability, automate API management, or streamline CI/CD, Choreo’s March 2025 release brings the features you need to stay ahead.
