The case for API platforms

Platform engineering is rapidly gaining traction for compelling reasons. As we continually expand our arsenal of digital building blocks, mastering the art of creating and using these components efficiently becomes crucial. This talk delves into the essence of platform engineering, exploring its synergy with API management and API platforms, and how the latter can significantly bolster platform engineering efforts. We will dissect the nuances of platform engineering, comparing it with traditional API management approaches. Furthermore, we will explore a widely recognized platform engineering maturity model, providing insights into its application and how it can guide you through the complexities of managing your API ecosystem.
