API management solutions help enterprises manage, secure, and mediate API traffic, ensure that developers and partners are productive, and grow their API programs to meet the increasing demands of a digital world. APIU management capabilities including Backend as a Service (BaaS) solutions, analytics engines, and monetization enable developers to develop and extend apps with modern features, provide deep insights into the APIs, and allow API providers to monetize their APIs and developers to share in the revenue.
This presentation explains how companies are transforming their businessees with APIs. In it, we go into detail on how to take advantage of cloud integration brokers, API providers, and application developers.
Over the past 15+ years, the Enterprise API has been the backbone of the App Cloud. Over the last three releases, we have been focused on delivering APIs that focus on optimizations and functionality in our API landscape. Join us to learn about the new features we have released in the last year, new features announced at Dreamforce, and what features are on our roadmap for the next year.

IBM Interconnect 2016. This session outlines the offerings and initiatives that IBM provides around cloud and "as-a-service" messaging. We explain their roles and how they work together to deliver agility to business, while retaining the mission-critical reliability that enterprises have come to expect of IBM messaging. Topics include the work we are doing in IBM MQ Enterprise messaging to facilitate its deployment in public and private IaaS clouds, the use of MQ in Docker and how we are making it easier to build self-service deployments on-premise, the new MQ Light API and how it can be exploited from IBM Bluemix and "fast-speed of IT" systems of engagement, the MQ Light Service for IBM Bluemix and the work we are doing with the Apache Kafka project.
Business Agility through Self-Service Messaging - InterConnect 2016Leif Davidsen
Presentation from IBM InterConnect 2016 on how businesses are becoming more agile by deploying their MQ messaging in configurations that provide a greater degree of 'self-service' capabilities - allowing application teams to gain more control and faster access to make changes.

The Best of Both Worlds: Introducing WSO2 API Manager 4.0.0WSO2
APIs now serve as the primary building blocks for assembling data, events, and services from within the organization, throughout ecosystems, and across devices. Integrated legacy systems and support for modern event-driven architectures, on the other hand, are critical in allowing timely, relevant digital experiences in response to customer behavior. To support these demands, WSO2 has added significant new capabilities to WSO2 API Manager 4.0.0.
Complete support for streaming APIs and event-driven architecture (EDA)
The first solution to support full implementation of the AsyncAPI specification
A Service Catalog to enable developers to discover a given service seamlessly
API / API product revisioning to keep track of the changes
Feature-rich, cloud-based analytics for easy integration
You will gain a full understanding of WSO2 API Manager 4.0.0 features and how they cater to current API Management demands by attending this webinar.
DURING THE WEBINAR, WE WILL COVER:
Experience the power and synergy of Service Integration and API Management in a fully functional API ecosystem
Understand the motivation behind WSO2 API Manager 4.0.0 release
New streaming and event-driven architecture support available in API Manager 4.0.0
Learn the importance of catering all API Management and integration demands with one connected platform
Explore other new features and enhancements to the product
In this community call, we will discuss the highlights of WSO2 API Manager 4.0 including
- Why we moved from WSO2 API Manager 3.2.0 to 4.0.0.

Agile integration architecture in relation to APIs and messagingKim Clark
Taking a broader look at agile integration architecture, exploring how it affects all aspects of integration. With agile integration architecture now established as the mechanism for breaking up of the enterprise service bus into more fine grained deployment and decentralized ownership of integration component, what are the implications on other aspects of integration? What does this mean for APIs? How do the APIs we expose map back to fine grained microservice inspired implementations? What can API management provide to help us manage the complexity and security challenges of heterogeneous multi-cloud implementations? Why is asynchronous transport gaining a refreshed momentum and how is event-based architecture different from queue based interaction patterns?

Liberty Buildpack: Designed for Extension - Integrating your services in Blue...Rohit Kelapure
The Liberty Buildpack aims to remove the hassle of running Java applications on Cloud Foundry whether it is the simplified setup, auto-configuration of Liberty and Java EE references to cloud resources, reduced droplet size through selective provisioning of the runtime, or the zero-touch configuration and usage of services. There are times, however, when an application needs a feature that the buildpack does not yet provide. This talk will start by showing how to use and configure the Java buildpack and finish by showing how to extend the buildpack to ensure that IBM BlueMix Cloud Foundry is the best place to run your application. To build services and integrate them with BlueMix, you must implement the Service Broker API of Cloud Foundry for your services. This talk will explain how to write plugins to the Liberty Buildpack that will auto wire services your organization developed and integrated into CF making it easier for your apps to use the services in Cloud Foundry.
