The Interface economy
summary
Claim: APIs are an infrastructure that reorganizes information flows to let organizations do agile at scale rather than a product to monetize directly. Staged adoption moves from learning APIs to treating them as api products then to org-wide reuse and finally to regular people using interfaces. Examples include developer portals as interfaces for interfaces, SDKs, Postman collections and a no-code QR-code loan journey for small shops. Pronovix builds portals and documents lessons from the API resilience podcast.
