Conclusion

Building an API-first organisation requires you to shift from a tightly coupled and monolithic architecture to one that is modular, distributed and cohesive. This transition can result in better security, more empowered teams and improved efficiency. Through an iterative process of development, deployment and improvement, an API-first business can be more efficient, innovative and effective than its competitors. Finally, an API management (APIM) platform is an integral part of this process. Finding one that offers the right functionality supported by a vendor with a history of success must be a top priority. Because regardless of where your API journey begins, management of multiple APIs and policies will be necessary moving forward.
