WSO2, a leading provider of enterprise digital infrastructure technology, has announced a significant update to Choreo, its AI-native internal developer platform (IDP). This release brings two major advancements: a new platform engineering perspective that allows teams to manage infrastructure at scale and AI-driven capabilities that enhance productivity across platform and software engineering teams. Along with being offered as a cloud service, Choreo is now available as open-source software, offering enterprises greater flexibility in deployment options.
As businesses increasingly look to leverage AI for a competitive edge, Choreo helps eliminate bottlenecks in complex development environments. The platform simplifies software delivery, operations, and enterprise engineering, empowering teams to focus on creating business value. The latest version of Choreo will be showcased at WSO2Con 2025, taking place in Barcelona, Spain from March 18-20, 2025.
Kanchana Wickremasinghe, Vice President and General Manager for Choreo at WSO2, commented, “AI presents a huge opportunity for enterprises to stay competitive by creating intelligent digital experiences. However, today’s complex infrastructure is often an obstacle. With this new release of Choreo, available in both cloud and open-source formats, we’re helping enterprises innovate faster by integrating AI features that support software engineers in delivering new applications more quickly while allowing platform engineers to adapt swiftly to evolving requirements.”
Choreo offers a robust solution tailored for platform engineers, DevOps teams, and site reliability engineers, helping them manage infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and secure operations at scale. With its latest features, Choreo empowers teams to streamline their workflows and ensure better control and efficiency in their operations. These updates include advanced pipeline management, which offers customizable CI pipelines and parallel deployment options, making it easier to support multi-cloud architectures and enable rapid hotfix deployments.
One of the standout additions is the Self-Service Data Planes feature (currently in Beta), which transforms Kubernetes clusters into fully-managed Choreo data planes. This feature is designed to simplify the management of data infrastructure with an intuitive interface, enabling teams to scale and control their Kubernetes environments more effectively. Additionally, Choreo introduces AI-powered FinOps, leveraging machine learning to analyze cloud cost patterns, detect anomalies, and suggest optimizations. This feature helps teams keep cloud spending in check while maintaining optimal performance.
Another key enhancement is the application alerting system, which allows for real-time monitoring based on performance metrics and logs. Automated alerts can be set up to ensure that teams can react swiftly to issues, thus improving response times and system reliability. Choreo also introduces local pipelines and observability, offering customers the flexibility to run pipelines and monitor observability metrics entirely within their own infrastructure. This option provides greater control, ensuring that sensitive data stays within company-managed environments.
Beyond operations, Choreo continues to prioritize boosting productivity for software engineers. New features such as API-key support enhance security by enabling encrypted machine-to-machine communication, which is essential for building secure applications. The hotfix pipeline feature allows development teams to deploy critical updates to production environments more efficiently, ensuring faster response times in urgent situations. Lastly, Choreo simplifies configuration management by introducing environment-aware configuration groups and unified configuration declarations across projects, reducing redundancy, minimizing deployment errors, and streamlining the development process.
For the first time, WSO2 is offering an open-source version of Choreo’s internal developer platform, providing enterprises with the ability to manage their IDP on-premises or within a private cloud. This open-source version retains all the benefits of the Choreo IDP as a service, delivering enhanced productivity, cost efficiency, and faster time to market for both platform and software engineering teams.
For platform engineers, Choreo offers control over infrastructure management, security governance, and deployment workflows. Software engineers benefit from self-service capabilities, including automated CI/CD pipelines, API management, service mesh, and observability. AI-driven tools further enhance visibility, governance, and overall productivity across teams.
Choreo’s new features are now generally available, with the exception of the self-service data planes, which are still in beta. Organizations can subscribe to Choreo through WSO2 directly or via marketplaces like Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud. Developers can also try Choreo’s SaaS offering for free or download the open-source IDP software from WSO2’s website.
Founded in 2005, WSO2 is the largest independent software vendor specializing in open-source API management, integration, and identity and access management (IAM). Its platform, including Choreo, empowers organizations to deliver secure digital services and applications while enabling digital transformation. WSO2’s open-source, API-first approach eliminates vendor lock-in, accelerating digital product creation. With more than 800 employees worldwide, WSO2 has offices in multiple countries and generates over USD 100M in annual recurring revenue.
