As an API product manager, you want your API to have a great developer experience. This means that developers can get up and running quickly, they get consistent behavior from your API, it’s easy for them to troubleshoot any errors they encounter, and your API makes it easy for them to address their business needs. Tracking your APIs is an important part of understanding how well they perform, which leads most organizations to build out their own internal API tracking systems.

API gateways and management platforms like Azure API Management (APIM) are an excellent way to keep your APIs in order. They provide features that every API needs, like API keys, quotas, and caching in a standardized fashion. Your APIs will then behave more homogeneously and can be managed in a central place. They’re also the entry point to your cloud infrastructure and can help you abstract implementation from the interface.

The ability to monitor your APIs is an important functionality for any business that is driven by APIs. Beyond API monitoring and observability is the ability to actively create alerts for specific conditions. Moesif is a fantastic platform to utilize alerts with. With our platform, all of your API and user data can be compiled into a single place. it’s a great way to easily configure a wide variety of useful alerts for your REST, GraphQL, and other APIs.

One of the beauties of working with APIs is their convenient and practical ways to share data and applications. APIs have enabled a transformational shift from an interface that relied on custom integrations to now a relatively streamlined process. That said, because of their agile framework, some companies have overlooked the importance of providing a great developer integration experience and are not taking the necessary steps to help drive the Time To First Hello World.

We can all remember a time when we had a negative experience with a platform service. Perhaps we ran into a set of reoccurring errors or the platform was unreliable and continually crashed. The classical example of this might be the early days of Apple Maps. In any case, the common thread of these experiences is the feeling of frustration from valuable time lost, resulting in a tarnished relationship with the product. Thankfully, in the world of APIs, customer-facing teams have taken note.

Back in the day, it was normal to buy or rent servers and pay for them in a lump sum, independent of utilization. With the rise of serverless computing, infrastructure to build APIs has become cheaper, and on-demand pricing is the norm. Now that you only pay for what you use, why not include usage-based pricing as a feature in your own SaaS offering. With usage-based pricing your customers don’t get intimidated by high upfront costs, instead their costs grow as their business grows.

As we take stock of how COVID-19 has affected the way we operate, nothing in technology is more apparent than the switch to digital. Although many of us have transitioned from water-cooler conversationalists to reluctant zoom dwellers, the impact on business processes themselves might actually be more profound. According to McKinsey, coronavirus has acted as an accelerant on companies offering digital products and services.

In this guide you’ll learn how to send Moesif behavioral emails with Mailchimp. Moesif behavioral emails is a feature that automatically sends emails to customers based on their API usage. This can be used to notify customers about technical issues, such as: hitting rate limits, using deprecated APIs, or trying to run broken integrations. You can even use it to trigger business-related events such as when an item is shipped.
