WSO2 Training: Become a WSO2 expert with our courses

Your team just inherited a WSO2 platform… now what? You've just implemented WSO2 or it's been running quietly in the background for years, one thing is clear: without the right skills, you're only using a fraction of its potential.

From API management and integration flows to identity and access control, WSO2 offers enterprise-grade capabilities, but only if your team knows how to use them. That’s where structured, expert-led training comes in.

At Claria, we train your team to solve real-world integration problems with confidence. With hundreds of professionals trained across public and private sectors, our WSO2 training programmes help organisations turn technology investment into tangible value.

What you need to learn to work and become a WSO2 expert

When a company decides to adopt WSO2, the team responsible for implementation needs to develop a clear understanding of several areas. WSO2 provides tools for API management, system integration and identity management, and each area involves specific concepts and skills. This section outlines what you need to understand to use WSO2 effectively in real-world projects.

Below is a breakdown of the essential knowledge areas your team will need to cover before starting work with WSO2:

1. Understanding WSO2 products

Before beginning any technical work, it’s essential to understand the role of each WSO2 product:

• WSO2 API Manager: A full-lifecycle API management solution, used to create, publish, secure and analyse APIs.
• WSO2 Integrator: A toolkit for building and deploying integration flows, connecting internal systems, external services, databases and applications.
• WSO2 Identity Server: A solution for managing identity and access, including single sign-on (SSO), federation and role-based access control.
• Asgardeo: A SaaS-based identity solution aimed at simplifying authentication and user management, often for customer-facing applications.
• Choreo: A cloud-native platform for developing and deploying services and APIs using low-code and pro-code approaches. It supports integration, API management and DevOps in one environment.
• Bijira and Devant: Newer additions aimed at specific aspects of the digital experience or application delivery. Depending on your goals, you may need to explore their role further as the product suite evolves.

Choosing the right combination will depend on your architecture and operational model (on-premises, cloud, hybrid, or SaaS).

2. Learning to build integrations with WSO2 Integrator

To connect systems reliably and at scale, your technical team will need to:

• Work with data formats like JSON, XML and CSV.
• Understand communication protocols such as HTTP(S), JMS, MQTT and database connectors.
• Design integration flows using mediators, transformations and routing logic.
• Apply error handling and transaction management to ensure consistency across systems.
• Use WSO2 Integration Studio, an IDE for building and deploying integration projects.

These skills are essential for replacing legacy middleware or automating internal processes.

3. Working with APIs using WSO2 API Manager

API-first architecture is central to digital transformation. Your teams should learn how to:

• Define APIs using OpenAPI specifications.
• Manage API versioning, documentation and access policies.
• Apply security policies, such as OAuth 2.0, scopes and rate limiting.
• Use the Publisher Portal to expose APIs internally or externally.
• Monitor usage and performance using built-in analytics or external tools.

This is particularly useful when exposing internal services to partners, customers, or external developers.

4. Managing identity with WSO2 Identity Server and Asgardeo

Depending on whether you need a self-managed or SaaS-based solution, your identity strategy may involve one or both of the following:

• WSO2 Identity Server: Best suited for enterprise-level identity federation, fine-grained access control, LDAP integration and SSO within complex environments.
• Asgardeo: More suitable for web or mobile apps needing quick implementation of login flows, social login, MFA and user management with minimal infrastructure overhead.

Your team should become familiar with:

• Authentication protocols like OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect and SAML 2.0.
• Identity federation and integration with external identity providers.
• Role and claim management.
• Security best practices for applications and APIs.

5. Developing cloud-native solutions with Choreo

If your strategy involves cloud-first or hybrid development, Choreo can help accelerate delivery. It offers:

• A web-based development environment for building services, integrations and APIs.
• Built-in CI/CD, observability and security features.
• Support for both low-code and pro-code developers.
• Integration with GitHub, Docker, Kubernetes and other cloud-native tools.

Training in Choreo is especially useful for teams working on modern microservice-based applications or fast API delivery.

6. Deployment, monitoring and DevOps

To operate WSO2 products reliably in production environments, your infrastructure team will need to:

• Understand how to install and configure on-premise or containerised versions of WSO2 products.
• Use Docker and Kubernetes to manage deployments at scale.
• Set up monitoring and alerting using Prometheus, Grafana or the ELK stack.
• Manage configuration across environments (development, staging, production).
• Implement secure CI/CD pipelines that integrate with source control and test environments.

This knowledge is essential for maintaining availability, performance and security over time.

7. Understanding practical use cases

Learning from real use cases helps bring everything together. Some examples include:

• Replacing point-to-point integrations with reusable services built in WSO2 Integrator.
• Publishing APIs for external use with WSO2 API Manager and applying usage control.
• Centralising login for multiple applications using WSO2 Identity Server.
  
  
• Using Asgardeo to simplify authentication in customer-facing portals.
• Developing cloud-based APIs and services with Choreo to speed up digital initiatives.
