An ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) allows you to integrate the disparate applications and services that run your organization. In this article, we take a closer look at what an ESB is and what alternatives exist. By connecting all these components through an ESB, you eliminate the labor-intensive task of custom-coding messy, point-to-point integrations. In this way, an ESB provides a safe, fast, and reliable backbone to your IT infrastructure.

First things first what is a legacy system? A legacy system is any kind of outdated computer system or software used instead of newer, modern systems. Pagers, landlines, and telegraphs are all examples. As you might expect, there are a number of disadvantages of legacy systems. That’s why many companies, universities, and organizations around the world are starting the process of legacy system migration.

Choreo now allows you to specify WSO2’s Micro Integrator runtime version and update level when deploying integrations. Previously, Choreo defaulted all deployments of WSO2 Micro Integrator projects to a specific runtime version and update level. With this improvement, developers can specify the exact runtime version and update level required for their integrations. This improvement simplifies the development and troubleshooting process for integration developers.

When it comes to digital identity, OpenID and OAuth are two peas in a pod, but they have their differences. OpenID connects you to relying parties using a single sign-on, while OAuth grants access tokens so you can give apps limited access. They both make authentication simple, seamless, and secure. However, don't be fooled: behind the scenes, they're as different as night and day. OpenID is about logging you in, while OAuth is all about letting apps in.

We're delighted to unveil Choreo API Chat, Choreo's innovative approach to interacting with APIs, powered by Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) 3.5 large language model (LLM) from Azure OpenAI. This allows users to try out APIs running or proxied via Choreo using natural language, serving as a complementary tool to traditional methods. It offers a convenient way to quickly try out endpoints without delving deeply into API specifications or crafting intricate JSON payloads.
