APIs are your business abstraction.
The state of APIs 3 https://www.postman.com/state-of-api/api-first-strategies/#api-first-strategies Gartner, 2019 API usage and strategy survey
“API first development blurs the lines between API design, implementation, management and governance”
5 Full API Life-cycle management Create APIs Test Manage Expose API Developers API Product Managers API Consumers ● Enable business goals ● Define API roadmap ● Incorporate feedback ● Evangelise APIs ● Coordinate DevRel
Designing the right APIs 6 - Contract first vs code first - By function - Domain, Experience APIs - By visibility - Internal vs external - By type - REST, Async, Webhook, Websockets, GraphQL,.. https://twitter.com/alexxubyte/status/1663568959348826114

Platformless with Choreo 20
Choreo -> Platformless Developer Experience (DX) API-first Cloud native Middleware Platform Engineering
Takeaways 22 - Treat APIs as products and practice API product management.Reuse is the ultimate goal most organizations strive for - Focus on internal, enterprise marketplaces - Organizations have to consume 3rd party APIs - APIs are not all just REST - API gateways are a commodity - Enterprise software engineering is a continuum and the lines are blurred between different parts
It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” “ Charles Darwin
