apidays LIVE Australia 2021 - Quantum Duality of “API as a business and a technology" by Asanka Abeysinghe, WSO2

This document discusses the evolution of APIs and supply chains for APIs. It notes that APIs have evolved from isolated integrations to managed API products. Supply chains for APIs are also emerging in industries like finance and telecommunications. The document advocates for applying lessons from physical supply chain management to API product management. It also discusses trends like API federation enabling multi-party business models, the shift to cloud-native architectures, and the rise of polyglot technologies in APIs.

Quantum Duality of “API as a business” and “API as a Technology” September 2021
Quantum Duality of “API as a business” and “API as a technology” 3 Overview Federation and Business Models Move to the cloud Polyglot and heterogeneous Modernizing development
4 Supply chain A supply chain is a network between a company and its suppliers to produce and distribute a specific product or service to the final buyer. This network includes different activities, people, entities, information, and resources. The supply chain also represents the steps it takes to get the product or service from its original state to the customer.

18 The shift to Cloud Native Traditional Cloud Native Virtual Machines and vSphere Containers and Kubernetes Centralised CoE based Integration API-led decentralised integration APIs for Partners APIs everywhere API Gateway Edge Gateway and Microgateway Synchronous Request-Reply Event-Driven Async Heavyweight all-in-one systems Lightweight, decoupled, deploy anywhere Proprietary licenses Open source by default Pay upfront Pay as you go
19 API Federation: Enabling multi-party business models ● Hosts a collection of APIs from different providers on a single federated marketplace. ● Unified analytics, policy enforcement, subscriptions, billing, etc. ● Open source specification for publication to a marketplace: https://github.com/api-federation/ Publisher Developer Portal Analytics Identity AWS Gateway Azure Gateway NGINX WSO2 Gateway
Quantum Duality of “API as a business” and “API as a technology” 20 Summary Federation and Business Models ● Heterogeneous API landscape - - Federation & multi-party ● Governance of API products across - multi-vendors ● New Monetization models ● API Product Management focus Move to the cloud ● Multi-Cloud & Hybrid deployment ● Kubernetes runtimes ● Automation ● Massive scale of API infrastructures ● Cloud business models Polyglot and heterogeneous ● Polyglot microservices and macro-services ● More than OAS: - GraphQL, AsyncAPI, gRPC, - Kafka, NATS, etc ● API aggregation and integration Modernizing development ● Microgateways & Service Mesh co-deployed with workloads ● CI/CD enablement ● Unified API development ● Serverless ● Kubernetes development environments
