#1
By 2022, 90% of new digital services will
be built as composite applications using
public and internal API-delivered services
- IDC FutureScape
#2
By 2024, 70% of Enterprises will Reduce
the Cost and Complexity of Customizing
Enterprise Applications by Investing in
Platforms - IDC FutureScape
IDC projects that organizations will spend $6.8 trillion on digital transformation between 2020 and 2023
Global API Management Market to be worth USD 21.68 Billion By 2028 with CAGR of 29%

3. 60%* of IT managers want to
deploy faster to respond to
customer needs.
70%* of IT outages are due to
unexpected changes. Each
outage can cost millions.
60% 70%
You have an overwhelming tool stack
with a huge resource investment. You
just need more flexibility
You’re still far from full DevOps, full IT visibility,
a fully integrated, fully visible workflow, and you
fail to continuously deliver
Your enterprise has disjointed communication
and bottlenecks with no view of what other
departments are doing. (Your tech mirrors this.)
Barriers to strategic growth

4. GOVERNANCE
Hand-rolled automation involves gluing together
existing scripts, custom-made development and
third-party service which is time consuming,
introduces error & compromise API quality & trust
RELIABILITY
Democratizing API automation elevates quality, speed
and scale. Major blockers - shortage of skills (23%),
limited / lack of automation (20%)
CONSISTENCY
Based on the State of API Report 2020 Over 50% prefer
working with a single platform to design, document,
test, and deliver APIs.
PRODUCTIVITY
Over 17 hours a week spent on debugging &
refactoring inconsistent, poor performance & failed
deployments issues costing Enterprises $85 billion
annually
Impedance to scaling API Program

The industry is evolving, but hurdles remain the same: lack of time, knowledge and complexity

6. Enterprises like to drive digital strategy with a broad overview of cross-company APIs, causing stability and enabling reusability,
taking APIs to market faster while releasing stable software, and helping to monetize their APIs safely.

SELF SERVICE
● Transition to self-service model (at your
fingertips anytime, any place, anywhere)
● Time saving without needing to interact
with multiple parties/touchpoints
● Standardized development guidelines
adhering to organization standards
Evolution of API DevOps
A Fundamental Shift Towards API-Centricity & Self-Service

7. Low Code API DevOps approach to API Lifecycle
Leverage a decoupled control plane that is not dependent on a
Gateway or Service Mesh provider to cut costs, complexity and
delays resulting using separate technologies
Decoupled Control Plane
Interweave best practice and governance with self-service to
deliver a better customer experience by defining consistent
process streamlining cross-functional teams
Centralizing Best Practices and Governance
Leverage Low-Code/No-Code platforms that abstracts out the
complexity so both Dev and Business can do what they do best
in the shortest amount of time
Democratize & Upskill Organization

8. Plan and collaborate so APIs align with vision and goals.
Plan & Design - Fully define your API Strategy
Define business goals that manifest into APIs which evolve.
Simplify API design to maintain consistency and expedite API
adoption through collaboration, versioning and documentation
API Design first approach
Keep developers notified automatically with changes to API,
including breaking changes, new endpoints, improvements, etc.
Track & Notify API changes
Accelerate discovery of APIs with required documentation,
schema definitions and code samples to promote reuse and
reduce friction
API Catalog

9. Build, enforce governance, measure & manage APIs
Build & Manage - Build, manage & enforce governance
Avoid internal complexities slowing your API program by
surfacing APIs from multiple API Runtime Gateways to provide a
more consistent developer experience.
Build API programs free from vendor lock-in
Reduce development and testing cycle dependencies, get early
feedback and go to market faster by standing up realistic,
dynamic mocks in seconds
Simulate & iterate API behaviors
Avoid disruption caused by manual errors and changes to
configuration through centralizing ownership using
version-controlled configuration management.
Reduce outages with config management

10. Design and build reliable APIs using automated tests and robust
test coverage based on API contracts that have already been
designed & approved
Contract testing for API governance
Deploy on-demand using a flexible, gated release model with
security or compliance reviews to your pipelines and easily
standardize, scale, and audit check across organization
Predictable Release Model
Use familiar visual GUI to auto-generate data models and
workflows to avoid hand rolled automation, scripts and
custom-made development
Continuous Delivery
Unite development, testing & deployment to increase stability
Test & Deploy - Release stable & reliable APIs

11. Enhance developer experience by providing API resources to
internal, partner and third-party developers for faster
collaboration and API consumption
Simplify API Adoption
Auto-generated interactive API Documentation and SDKs allow
teams to succeed as they learn, make calls and view sample
responses from each API endpoint
Increase developer productivity
Monitor key API performance metrics like latency, uptime and
downtime, enabling failure prediction and rapid proactive
response before an API goes down
Real time API Monitoring
Increase developer adaptability & availability
Publish & Monitor - Engage your developer community

12. Increase developer output at
a higher quality.
Decrease time to market, capex
and maintenance.
