3. Gartner Top 5 API Lessons for Software Engineering Leaders, 2021 APIs are now essential in advancing digital business strategies and should be treated as products without prioritizing monetization. Although many organizations monetize APIs, the majority don’t. Many organizations use API products for internal consumption only. Treat APIs as products, even if you don’t plan to monetize them IBM @ apidays
