The New API Stack
summary
Explains why Amazon’s Jeff Bezos 2002 mandate — “all service interfaces must be externalizable” — drives API-as-product thinking, shows the rise of OpenAPI/Swagger (2012) and how machine-readable specs let tools auto-generate docs, portals, tests and gateways, lists a 500-tool landscape and recent acquisitions (Apigee → Google, StrongLoop → IBM, CA → Broadcom), lays out the 10 API-management pillars, describes the API-facade pattern for refactoring monoliths, and contrasts REST vs GraphQL plus Google’s JSON‑LD indexing for developer portals. Watch if you want concrete tools, numbers, and patterns you can reuse.
