This eBook shines a light on the criticality of delivering high-performance APIs – what we call real-time APIs. It starts with a brief but engaging tour of the role APIs play in our daily lives, then covers performance benchmarks of various API management solutions, a reference architecture, and a tool for measuring API performance. Our customers and prospects who are API practitioners in a wide variety of roles – including DevOps engineers, application developers, API architects, API product owners, and network engineers on Infrastructure & Operations teams – tell us this is just the sort of information they need to succeed and stay ahead of their competitors.
