The API economy is changing the way companies approach their business model. They are part of an API ecosystem to accelerate their digital transformation and expose their APIs to optimize time-to-market. These are strong drivers that have propelled the topic of API management to the executive committee of companies. This topic is at the convergence of several disciplines that require a broad vision of the information system and a structured architectural approach. Otherwise, APIs will proliferate unchecked and rapidly generate a large technical debt. This training covers the strategic, economic, technological, and architectural dimensions of APIs, and aims to provide a comprehensive vision so that this major opportunity positively transforms the enterprise in a sustainable way.
