The global trend of platformication
summary
Argues companies must expose data content and resources as self-service APIs (developer portal, JSON endpoints, docs, SDKs) but warns tech alone fails: expect security and privacy risks, traffic jams, and heavy support needs. Notes restrictive terms block adoption (Marvel API example) and reports a common pattern where many APIs disappear quickly — roughly 6 months average survival without ongoing investment — and insists a cross‑functional team not a solo evangelist is required.
