REST API in 7.1.8
woohoo! Glad to see this OOTB now, finally: https://pdn.pega.com/integration/pega-api-for-the-pega-7-platform
What I'd like to see is a full Rest API for getting any rule/data metadata from the system (e.g., let's say I want to query system X about rule Y, or about the contents of ruleset Z). To develop this ourselves, would just take hours we don't have.
Additionally, any data available through JMX should be retrievable through RESTful (though using Jolokia could serve that).
