This document describes an API performance monitoring solution called APImetrics. It notes that existing tools do not adequately monitor real-world API performance. APImetrics provides an intelligent, analytics-driven solution that monitors APIs on an end-to-end basis through automated scenario testing and SLA management. It allows enterprises, API providers, and developers to identify performance issues, resolve problems before they affect users, and ensure APIs meet performance standards.

The current
API monitoring
situation
 Conventional APM and Web monitoring
tools and logs don’t tell the whole story
 Performance is worse than anticipated
 Response times vary dramatically
 Apps and services get the blame for
poor performing APIs
 Poor performance reflects on
developers and brands
 No clear strategy for API SLA
measurement
