Achieving great API-ness. Why streaming and API management go hand in hand
summary
Claims that event-driven APIs are mainstream (Gartner cited 60% of digital solutions driven by events) and that API management can safely expose streaming data without leaking internal Kafka topics. Shows a working architecture using an API Gateway + management plane (example: Gravitee), WebSockets for client streaming, broker topics for events, caching and dynamic routing for queries, and policy enforcement for auth, rate limits and monitoring. Demonstrates protocol mediation, ability to transform data in-flight, and a developer portal for discovery and subscription.
