In today's digital landscape, proper software engineering processes are crucial for efficient development, reliable performance, and agility in adapting to rapidly evolving market demands. This facilitates sustainable growth and competitive advantage. At WSO2, we follow robust software engineering practices in product development.

In this session, we will explore WSO2’s development practices, continuous integration, and DevOps processes, discussing their relevance and applicability across diverse digital businesses. We will also examine Choreo, an internal developer platform as a service, and how WSO2's practices have influenced its design. Furthermore, we'll look at Choreo's features and how they can help digital businesses implement software engineering practices effectively. Attendees will gain practical insights into improving software engineering, driving innovation, and succeeding in digital business.

The API landscape offers a range of choices - REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSockets, WebSub, AsyncAPI, SOAP (really?), and more. Each API style has its strengths and complexities. However, understanding their purpose and applications can be overwhelming. This talk provides a map to navigate this diverse landscape.

We'll break down each API style, exploring its concepts, use cases, and real-world examples. You'll learn when REST is the better choice, how GraphQL enables flexibility, when gRPC makes more sense, and when to consider WebSockets or WebSub. We'll also delve into newer API styles like AsyncAPI and declarative types like the Kubernetes API. Through comparisons, trade-offs, and a practical decision-making framework, you'll gain the knowledge to confidently choose the right API style for your projects.

Join us for a panel discussion at WSO2Con 2024: "Synthesizing Your Digital Transformation Journey with Platformless." Industry leaders Kristen Pruitt (Pekin Insurance), Prakash Iyer (Innominds), Isabelle Mauny (42Crunch), Dinesh Kumar (Tech Mahindra), and Vinay Hedge (LTIMindTree) will share their experiences with platformless architecture. Moderated by Asanka Abeysinghe, CTO of WSO2 and co-author of the platformless manifesto, we'll discuss the implications of the platformless manifesto, challenges in platform development, and strategies for implementing platformless solutions. This session aims to provide technical insights and practical advice for leveraging platformless approaches in digital transformation efforts.

Organizations that interact with other businesses, whether they are customers or partners, must effectively manage access to their B2B SaaS applications for external identities. This problem domain is known as B2B CIAM. While B2B CIAM shares fundamental concepts like users, groups, roles, and protocols, as well as features such as authentication, authorization, provisioning, and federation, what differentiates B2B CIAM vendors is the experience they offer in developing, operating, and governing B2B SaaS applications.

In this session, we will explore the B2B CIAM problem domain through real-world customer use cases. We will discuss why retrofitting traditional EIAM or B2C CIAM solutions is not sufficient.

Key takeaways include:

• B2B CIAM vs. B2C CIAM vs. EIAM
• Improving B2B SaaS application developer experience and productivity
• Enhancing customer experience with customized workflows and user access management autonomy
• Ensuring efficient streamlining and governance of access to your B2B applications and B2B API portfolio for digital operations teams

With the exponential increase in cyber threats, following an identity-first approach to security is gaining traction. Identity-first security is also center-stage within organizational digital transformation initiatives, as it not only improves security, but also helps improve customer CX and UX across all digital initiatives.

Whether it's securing the identities of your employees, consumers, citizens/constituents, B2B users, APIs or even devices, WSO2’s fully-fledged and mature IAM solution can meet all your requirements.

Join this session to learn more about WSO2’s IAM platform and how it can help you deliver a holistic digital experience for your users.

In this session, we will discuss the journey of API governance from its initial, ungoverned state to the development of sophisticated models that tackle contemporary challenges. We'll explore how APIs have become essential in the intersection of business and technology, adapting to advancements and evolving needs. We'll focus on how organizations have moved from launching to monetizing APIs, using models like pay-per-use and subscriptions, and finding the right balance between technical implementation and business strategy. We'll also highlight the impact of governance on monetization strategies, especially how data security, compliance, and service quality influence pricing. Real-world examples will demonstrate the effective integration of governance with monetization, including AI's role in dynamic pricing. Looking ahead, we'll share insights into future trends in API governance and monetization, emphasizing the importance of adaptability, continuous learning, and innovation.
