The backbone, the software intermediary, the connective tissue – whatever you like to call them, APIs wield a huge amount of power in today’s tech ecosystem.
It wasn’t that long ago when you would hear the phrase, “there must be an app for that”, everywhere. It’s now a decade since the first explosion of mobile apps, and these days, we live in an environment where you’re just as likely to hear, “there must be an API for that”, as well.
The API advantage
It’s this mammoth power of APIs, and how to unlock it, that we focus on in our new ebook, ‘The API advantage: how product managers can leverage APIs to drive innovation’ written by Tyk’s very own senior product manager, Sergei Lega.
