<p><a href="https://github.com/strongloop/loopback/">IBM and the StrongLoop team are committed to maintaining and
improving the LoopBack open-source project!</a></p>
<p>
<b>Building on LoopBack's success as an open-source Node.js framework,
<a href="https://developer.ibm.com/apiconnect">IBM API Connect</a></b> provides the newest tools to use with LoopBack projects.
It includes a graphical tool with many of the API composition features of StrongLoop Arc, plus assembly and testing of API Gateway
policies using the local Micro Gateway. Some features are still available only in Arc but these will be added to API Connect in the
next few months.
<p>API Connect also provides its own command-line tool, integrated with API management and gateway features.
A free version of API Connect especially for developers is available called <b>API Connect Essentials</b>.</p>
<p>
For more information, see <a href="https://developer.ibm.com/apiconnect/getting-started/">API Connect - Getting Started</a>.</p>

<li>Discover models based on relational database schemas.</li>
<li>Start, stop, and restart your LoopBack project app.</li>
<li>Explore and operate your REST APIs live, as you develop your model through a richer form-driven interface instead of JSON.</li>
<li>Generate and view application CPU profiles and heap snapshots (to help diagnose memory leaks).</li>
<li>Build, package, and deploy your Node application to a local or remote system.</li>
<li>Gather and view performance metrics on your application.</li>
