In this episode of Discovering the Architecture Middle Path, Asanka is joined by Selvaratnam Uthaiyashankar (Shankar), WSO2's Chief Product Officer, to explore the architecture of product design. The conversation looks at the principles behind product decisions, the tradeoffs that shape those choices, and how architecture, developer experience, deployment models, and different user needs influence product design. They also discuss how product principles evolve as customer expectations and technologies such as AI and agentic systems continue to change.

This lab was presented at WSO2Con Africa 2026. Presenters: Asanka Abeyweera, Associate Director - Head of Product Management & Architecture, Agent Platform BU, WSO2 Viggnah Selvaraj, Lead Sales Engineer, WSO2 Getting an AI agent to work is only the start. Once it runs, you need to show exactly what it said and why, keep compliance rules in force across agents built by teams that have never met, tell whether quality is improving or slipping, and make sure each agent reaches only the systems it needs.

It picks up where part one left off and keeps the focus on operating AI agents that already work, rather than writing new ones.

AI agents can work in the background on your behalf, but, how do you keep them from doing too much? WSO2 Identity Server 7.3 now supports Client-Initiated Backchannel Authentication (CIBA), giving ambient agents access only when the user approves each request through a push notification. The agent can act, but you stay in control.

See how to set up API monetization in WSO2 API Platform, from connecting Stripe to letting consumers subscribe and pay for API access. This demo walks through the full monetization flow in WSO2 API Platform.

AI agents that never sleep are changing how businesses make decisions. Here's the full WSO2Con keynote on what that shift means for your organization. In this opening keynote from WSO2Con, the CEO walks through the transition from the digital era to what he calls the "agentic era" — where autonomous agents handle judgment calls across sales, marketing, and support. He's direct about the risks too: agents lack empathy, can make costly errors, and still need guardrails to operate safely at scale.
