API, the next 10 years: Beyond the Interface
summary
API strategy focuses on concrete wins: an API both exposes capabilities and hides legacy complexity, and embedded APIs beat merely open APIs by reaching long‑tail channels. The API landscape counts 1100 companies and about $174 billion funding with ~400 tooling vendors and 130+ open‑banking products. Firms with B2C/B2B APIs report ~66% more revenue and ~38% higher net income while internal APIs cut IT ops ~22% but raise breach risk ~13.5% (faster recovery). Trends: API security as standalone, privacy gateways, WSO2 $90M finance backing, and low‑code tools like Zapier, Retool, AppSheet.
