4. Use GraphQL to access
the data you need
Market shifts
REST APIs have been the gold
standard but have challenges
that new API formats, like
GraphQL, are addressing.
What’s needed
GraphQL APIs abstract
backends away and provide:
— Fine-grained control over
data
— Reduced number of
requests
— Introspection
— Support for complex
queries

5. GraphQL's flexibility
allows for faster and
more robust apps
and development
decreases the
number and size
of network
requests
simplifies data
aggregation from
multiple sources.

GraphQL is a new layer of abstraction that lets you integrate
with data wherever it is, in any cloud

6. IBM’s innovative GraphQL API engine: StepZen
• Declaratively
defined (no-code)
• Cloud native
architecture
• Multi-tenant
• Auto-scaling
• Developer friendly
• DevOps friendly

7. Adopt event-driven
architecture for real-time
access
Market shifts
Business events occur
continuously within every
organization.
By connecting the dots
between these events,
businesses can detect and
respond to new trends,
customer issues or competitive
threats in real-time.
What’s needed
To become event-driven,
organizations need to be able
to:
— Discover and locate events
across many disparate data
sources
— Uncover insights
— Accelerate the re-use of
events

8. Define business scenarios in a no-code
authoring canvas to act in real-time and
automate decisions.
Build a self-service catalog of event
sources for users to securely browse
and utilize.

9. Apply AI throughout the
API lifecycle
Market shifts
AI can accelerate the speed
and efficiency of operations,
including in the development
and management of APIs.
80%
of enterprises are working with
or planning to adopt generative
AI1
What’s needed
Comprehensive API
management that includes
easy-to-use, built-in generative
AI capabilities to assist in
creating APIs faster,
generating API documentation,
and more.
