Working with APIs isn’t hard, it’s all about the tools and technical jargon surrounding them. While some companies thrive on feeding this complexity, others focus on simplifying solutions. API security and management areas are prime examples of where businesses capitalize on prolonged problems, selling temporary fixes rather than real solutions.

The author believes that companies pushing API complexity will have to adapt as new products emerge offering straightforward solutions. Ultimately, API complexity is manufactured to sell products, but the future lies in simplicity and efficiency.
