When you think about, APIs are just like shoes. They're a consumer product meant for a specific audience to fill a need, whether it's necessity, function, performance -- even aesthetic. As an API product manager, you need to reach developers where they are with the precise product they're looking for.
After all:
- You wouldn't offer stilettos to a team of rock climbers. Don't offer APIs that won't raise adoption by developers.
- You wouldn't market snowshoes in the rain forest. Don't market APIs where it takes a safari to find them.
- You wouldn't hand a bride bowling shoes on her wedding day. Don't hand a committed partner APIs with no business capability.
- You wouldn't package children shoes for lumberjacks. Don't package APIs that won't chop down security risks.
- You wouldn't curate a line of dress shoes for fording rivers. Don't curate APIs that can't open potential revenue streams.
- You wouldn't sell a pair of sandals to an arctic explorer. Don't sell APIs that get services to market at a glacial pace.
- You wouldn't give bedroom slippers to a guy on a surfboard. Don't give developers APIs that slow partner onboarding.
Axway offers a new kind of API portal -- Amplify Enterprise Marketplace -- built on a true universal API management platform that helps you curate, package, and market API products to fit the app developer's need perfectly.
