IPaas and API Management ? When do you really need an IPaas?
summary
Clear decision rules: API Management is for developer-facing API exposition, HTTP + OpenAPI/Swagger specs, portals and code-first composition; iPaaS is for business-facing flows that connect transform orchestrate data with prebuilt connectors and low‑code orchestration. Concrete examples include a government contact‑tracing app assembled in about a week from cloud APIs and a lunch‑break AI photo tagger built on Microsoft Cognitive Services. Expect connectors to commoditize (Dell Boomi open‑sourced connectors) and choose iPaaS when long‑running workflows and citizen developers matter.
