Efficient API delivery with APIOps
0 likes690 views
The document outlines the concept of APIOps, emphasizing its role in enhancing API delivery efficiency through automation and cloud-native practices. It discusses the transition from traditional, monolithic architectures to consumer-centric, loosely coupled API ecosystems, highlighting the need for a balance between speed and consistency in API management. The paper also details the benefits of APIOps, such as increased speed, improved consistency, and lower costs, alongside a comprehensive API lifecycle management approach that integrates GitOps principles.
