Discover how API management and service mesh can go hand in hand toward secured platforms Over the last ten years, Kongers have witnessed hundreds of companies adopting a full lifecycle API management platform and have been working with the people behind the scenes, the “API tribes.” We’ve also learned from the field that API tribes most often have to deal with heterogeneous platforms, infrastructures, and clouds.

In today’s digital age, APIs have become the backbone of many businesses, enabling seamless integration and communication between applications, platforms, and users. As the demand for APIs grows, so does the need for effective API management and monetization. In this post, we’ll compare two leading API platforms, Moesif and Apigee, focusing on their monetization features.

The ability to call a PostgreSQL stored procedure from an API allows for rapid development in a secure way. Rather than writing database queries to interact with your data you can utilize an API that can be rapidly developed and reused many times. The reusability of APIs and using stored procedures means if you are scaling from a single backend application to hundreds your APIs will not change. Table of Contents.

You’ve probably heard of the Internet of Things (IoT); all those everyday objects that incorporate computing functions. For example, the IoT allows you to connect your phone to your refrigerator. This way, you can know exactly what to buy at the supermarket for that impromptu dinner that night. Perhaps you’re part of a DevOps team, using microservices and containers to build and deploy legacy and cloud-native applications quickly and iteratively.

Imagine this: You're documenting an unreleased feature, and your documentation requires screenshots. However, you're working in an internal environment that includes features you don't want to reveal to the public. What do you do? We faced this exact situation during the API Summit release when we needed to capture screenshots of the new Kong Konnect Plus dashboard while our internal environment also showcased Mesh Manager features.

As APIs have become the centerpiece of online data exchange in the modern era, the need for documentation and communication between developers of these APIs and their users has become incredibly important. Effective developer communication can unlock massive potential, create new iterative success, and serve as a compounding conduit that improves the industry at large. Accordingly, developer portals have become exceptionally useful and important ways to share API documentation with API consumers.

There are as many monetization pitfalls as there are methods of monetizing APIs. As the market has shifted over the years, selling APIs and creating product userbases has become more important than ever. Today, we’re going to discuss a strategy that can lead to explosive growth – let’s talk self-service and product led growth.

REST APIs have become the backbone of modern software applications, enabling seamless communication between systems and ensuring data consistency. In particular, REST APIs are useful for ETL (extract, transform, load) and data integration workflows. They make it easy to exchange information between various websites, databases, and SaaS (software as a service) applications.
