OpenWA gained 1,402 stars in a single day as a free, self-hosted WhatsApp API gateway with a pluggable architecture supporting swappable database engines (SQLite/PostgreSQL), storage backends (Local/S3), and cache layers (Memory/Redis). It includes a full REST API, multi-session support, real-time webhooks, web dashboard, and Swagger documentation. For agent builders, this provides a self-controlled messaging infrastructure for WhatsApp-based agents without depending on Meta's Business API pricing.
