    EchoRelay

    N/AN/AEchoRelay is a managed runtime for custom API integrations. Teams that maintain their own adapters carry the cost of every change at the other end. A vendor renames a field and someone edits adapter code, deploys it, and hopes nothing else moved. A credential rotates and the adapter breaks until somebody notices. EchoRelay moves that work out of application code. An integration is described once as configuration: what comes in, the target system, its credentials,…

    Enterprise companies (1,001+ employees)
    WSO2 says they have taken a fresh look at old-style, centralized ESB architectures, and designed their unique WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus from the ground up as the highest performance, lowest footprint, and most interoperable service oriented architecture (SOA) and integration middleware today. Additionally, the vendor says that by relying on their carbon technology the ESB is able to deliver a smooth start-to-finish project experience.N/A

    Additional DetailsThree ways to pay, and you can move between them. Start free with no card. Buy credits when you need them, with no subscription. Or subscribe for a monthly allowance and a lower rate on anything above it. One request fans out to its targets, and each delivery is charged separately, so cost follows how many systems a request actually reaches. Deliveries that fail on our side are not charged. Nothing is priced per seat, and every plan includes the full REST API, the MCP server and the web panel. Current plans, add-ons, credit packs and the full comparison are on the pricing page linked above. Prices exclude VAT; applicable taxes are calculated at checkout.

    WSO2 ESB is an awesome product for companies looking to venture into the world of SOA with an ESB. They have a lot of other products too that can work really well with their carbon infrastructure. The interface is simple for deploying and managing proxy services. You can also write custom modules within the ESB using Java with IDE like Eclipse

    Pros

    WSO2
    • One of the basic requirement of an ESB product is that it should be able to support transformation. WSO2 ESB provides support of XSLT, so you can transform your request to whatever format. Moreover, transformations like converting your xml payload into JSON and JSON payload to XML are out of the box available.
    • WSO2 ESB provides a scheduler feature, by which you can configure your own scheduler to call a proxy service at a particular time of day or or initiate sequence.
    • WSO2 ESB provides excellent error handling techniques, WSO2 ESB provides detailed error handling scenarios to tackle all the situations. WSO2 ESB also provides custom error handling by which you can make your own custom error message before sending it back to client.

    WSO2
    • While it's easy to configure for a quick start, it is not so easy to deploy by yourself in a complex production scenario.
    • Not very stable for production usage, we encountered several trivial bugs that make us believe that this product is still not widely adopted.
    • Lack of a built in mechanism for auto-restart in case of an application server crash.

    Lack of auto-restart built-in capabilities. In case of running out of memory there are no built-in methods to recover from a crash, just for example, Oracle WebLogic Node Manager.

    ScreenShots

    EchoRelay Screenshots

    Screenshot of One address in. Many systems out, each shaped by a configuration you can preview, publish and roll back. Deploy nothing.Screenshot of Lines are versions of the API, v1 and v2, each with its own base URL. Build the next one beside the version that is serving traffic, then activate it when it is ready.Screenshot of Set the target, how it authenticates, and whether it gets queued delivery, synchronous delivery or streaming. Anything still undelivered lands in failed deliveries.Screenshot of A mapping is a tree of typed nodes. Edit it as JSON or build it visually. Both read back the same thing, so what an agent writes opens in the builder unchanged.Screenshot of Filter by request id, method, status or path. Open a row to see what each target answered.Screenshot of Deliveries that ran out of attempts wait here with the reason and the payload. Replay one, or all of them.
