Pros

    WSO2 API Platform

    WSO2 API Platform is an open source, unified control plane for managing APIs, AI, and event-driven traffic across cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments. It enables organizations to design, secure, govern, and productize APIs while scaling agentic and LLM-based workloads with built-in governance and security controls. Teams use WSO2 to prepare APIs for AI agents with auto-generated MCP servers, centrally manage outbound LLM traffic, and gain full visibility into API and AI usage, performance, and cost.
