The democratisation of APIs
summary
Postman reports 11 million users and survey data showing 82% pronounce API as A‑P‑I and a year‑over‑year 12% slower growth among people who self‑identify as developers, indicating a rising cohort of non‑dev API consumers and producers. Evidence includes wider job titles using API specs, OpenAPI adding YAML to ease non‑dev entry, rapid growth of low‑code/no‑code tooling, and Postman renaming its conference to a user conference to reflect a broader audience.
