"Amount of data in IoT devices increases to new heights during the following years – we’ve just witnessed the beginning. Data lakes become oceans. Data oceans are filled with transport which so far has been “boats” capable of small scale service. Future IoT systems and ecosystems required cruise ships with a lot of services, automation and different service plans. How to manage the cruise ship? API management fits in to traditional solutions, but real-time APIs are a bit different case." Jarkko Moilanen, Chief APItalist, APInf Oy International Technology Conference Mindtrek 2017 20th - 21st of September, 2017 Tampere, Finland

API – Data – Platform Economy Full-stack API Economy house – APInf Oy Data economy API economy Platform economy Data sets Function APIs Developer eXperience Data APIs Partner APIs Internal APIs Markets Scalability
Focus on 3 things ➔ Understand customer needs – focus on app developer ➔ Different needs, part of API productisement ➔ Provide business driven functional APIs + data APIs ➔ APIOps Cycles, offer easy to use high performance REST APIs + freetier ➔ Manage IoT data flow with light-weight open source solution ➔ MVP approach, expand to FIWARE platform, ecosystem
Data - fuel for apps and services ➔ Data sets - Low barrier, sometimes makes more sense ➔ Quality, availability ➔ Open APIs – or free-tier, let them learn! ➔ Importance of API DX is not understood ➔ Limited access APIs - partner, commercial, governmental ➔ Platform Developer eXperience vs API DX
Functional API Full-stack API Economy house – APInf Oy ➔ They provide much needed functionality for developers and integrators. ➔ Function APIs can save developers time when building their applications by providing needed functionality immediately, cost effectively, and with functionality that would otherwise be impossible without an API. More often another reason is not to give direct access to raw data for business reasons
