WSO2 Consulting & Services for Enterprises

API Manager topology and component design, Identity Server and SSO integration, Micro Integrator mediation development, Kubernetes deployment, performance tuning, upgrade planning across major versions, and migration to or from other API platforms. Every engagement is staffed by a named senior engineer.

Micro Integrator is a lighter, container-first runtime with a different deployment and configuration model — it is not a drop-in replacement for the full Enterprise Integrator stack. Sequences and proxy services largely carry over, but registry usage, tooling, and any dependence on the older analytics or business process components need rework. We inventory artifacts first, migrate in batches with tests against existing behavior, and run both in parallel until the outputs reconcile.

Riskier than teams expect, because the configuration model and component layout change between major versions and the databases require migration scripts. We treat an upgrade as a migration: stand up the new version alongside the old, run the database migration against a copy, re-import API artifacts, validate against real traffic, then cut over with a rollback path. In-place upgrades on a weekend are where the bad outcomes live.

Yes. We integrate Identity Server with LDAP and Active Directory user stores, and federate with Entra ID, Okta, Keycloak, and other OIDC or SAML providers. We also work the other direction — using an existing identity provider as the key manager for WSO2 API Manager rather than deploying Identity Server at all, when that is the simpler architecture.

It works well if you already operate Kubernetes competently. The details that matter are artifact synchronization across gateway replicas, persistence for the registry and databases, and readiness probes that reflect real startup time — WSO2 products take longer to become ready than typical web services, and aggressive probes cause restart loops. If Kubernetes would be new for your team, VMs with a solid deployment pipeline are a defensible choice.

Both directions. The method is the same: inventory every policy and mediation step, map each to an equivalent on the target platform or write a custom one, migrate consumer credentials so clients do not have to re-onboard, then shift traffic per API with the original platform available as a rollback. We are not a reseller for any of these vendors, so the recommendation follows your requirements and budget.
