What WSO2 Developer Platform is
WSO2 Developer Platform, identified on its product page as OpenChoreo, is a Kubernetes-native internal developer platform for platform engineers. It offers reusable abstractions, a Backstage-powered developer portal, built-in CI/CD, GitOps workflows, observability, and policy enforcement, with Kubernetes remaining the system of record. It can run on public cloud, hybrid or multi-cloud, and on-premises Kubernetes environments. WSO2 says its managed cloud option is available on AWS, Azure, and GCP; its on-premises option supports air-gapped private data centers and keeps data within the customer’s perimeter. Platform engineers retain control over network policies, access controls, and data residency across deployment targets. OpenChoreo integrates with Backstage and is validated for deployment on SUSE Rancher Prime and AWS Marketplace. The open-source foundation includes GitHub issues, documentation, and a Slack community. Enterprise support lists round-the-clock incident support and guided onboarding. The quick start requires Docker and at least 4 GB RAM and 2 CPUs, or 8 GB RAM and 4 CPUs with WorkflowPlane. The open-source foundation is free; enterprise support pricing is available by contacting WSO2. A 14-day trial is listed.
