Apisecure, 14 & 15 March 2023 - David Linthicum, Chief Cloud Strategy Officer at Deloitte Consulting
summary
Argues that a meta‑cloud/supercloud — an abstraction and orchestration layer that maps thousands of heterogeneous APIs down to native cloud primitives — cuts operating complexity and can lower run costs roughly 2.5x versus managing raw cloud‑native stacks. Describes using Kubernetes and cloud‑native services, AI‑Ops for observability and self‑healing, and canonical API virtualization that translates to provider APIs. Warns no off‑the‑shelf standard exists and predicts an API complexity wall by 2024–25.
