What APIs Can and Cannot Do
summary
Claim: APIs are necessary but not sufficient for digital transformation; evidence comes from workshops and case patterns called Acute API disillusionment showing organizations that add APIs and end up with a distributed monolith or failed monetization. Tools and concepts mentioned include GraphQL, serverless platforms and a continuous API management cycle. Outcome: APIs act as plumbing that only delivers value when architecture, product design and organizational processes are changed in tandem.
