0 likes1,374 views
The document discusses the state of APIs based on a survey of over 13,500 API professionals. It finds that while developers make up over half of API professionals, non-developers are also significant users. The top obstacles to producing and consuming APIs are lack of time for production and lack of documentation for consumption. The future of APIs is predicted to include continued investment and focus on microservices and serverless architectures.
