WSO2 Data Services 1.0 Released!

The title says it all, after months of hard work the 1.0 version of the WSO2 Data Services Solution is out. This version of Data Services is based on carbon, which is based on OSGI. There were quite a lot of challenges that the Data Services team had to undergo in order to pull of this release.

Some key features of this release are,
  • Built-in Connection pooling support
  • Aggregate data from multiple data sources
  • Support for exposing Stored procedures & functions
  • Built-in caching to enhance performance
  • Throttling to ensure that your database is never overloaded
  • Secured access to data
  • Reliable delivery of messages
It also come with an eclipse IDE plugin.

For those who are not familiar with WSO2 Data Services is, it is a way to expose data locked up in Data Bases, Excel files or CSV files as Web Services in a matter of minutes. And it requires zero code (You could either use the wizard that comes with it or simple use your favorite editor to write your configuration).

Sumedha's blog has quite a few tips on Data Services. From doing basic stuff to more advanced scenarios.

As with all products at WSO2 the Data Services Solution is shipped under the Apache License. Download it and try it out.
