Discover how Axway’s Amplify Platform helps organizations manage and tame API sprawl, enhancing efficiency and control.
Is API sprawl slowing your business down? When you don’t know what APIs you have, securing them becomes nearly impossible. Axway's Amplify Platform helps you discover, manage, and secure your entire API ecosystem effortlessly. Watch now and take control of your APIs today!
Let's start with a simple truth: APIs are driving digital business. Seventy-two percent of all web traffic today involves API calls. That's right—APIs are everywhere! And it's not just about traffic; 47% of organizations are leveraging APIs to create new revenue streams. So APIs aren't just tools; they are the backbone of modern business.
But with this rapid adoption comes new challenges. As your APIs spread across the organization, managing them can quickly turn into a huge task. That's when you start hearing about something called API sprawl.
So what exactly is API sprawl? Imagine your organization starts using APIs for just about everything. At first, it's fantastic—APIs can connect systems, streamline processes, and fuel innovation. But as you grow, you add multiple cloud platforms, diverse development teams, and various API gateways. Suddenly, it's hard to keep track of which APIs are in use, who’s responsible for them, or if they're even secure. That's API sprawl: the uncontrolled expansion of your APIs within your organization.
Now you might be thinking, how bad can it really get? Let's take a closer look at the downsides of API sprawl. Imagine trying to find a specific API in a sea of unmanaged services. You're stuck with poor service discovery, hidden endpoints popping up, and technical debt piling up faster than you can keep up.
And here's where it can get tricky: security. When you don't know what APIs you have, securing them becomes nearly impossible. A recent study showed that only 10% of organizations fully document their APIs. That's a massive security risk waiting to be exploited.
But there's good news: the Axway Amplify platform can bring order to the chaos of APIs. Amplify isn't just another tool; it's the command center for your entire API ecosystem.
