Sven Bernhardt and Danilo Schmiedel gave a session that mostly turned into a sales pitch for a product Oracle purchased named Apiary.  It was a pretty cool tool, but not something that closes any holes where I work.  My notes are:

• API Mangement
  • more than 12,000 public APIs offered by companies (2015)
  • Salesforce makes 50% revenue via API
    • Expedia 90%
    • ebay 60%
  • APIs are the door to the digital tomorrow
    • used to discover new business models and to evolve digital economies
  • Can support key business goals
    • Revenue Growth
    • Customer Satisfaction & Engagement
    • Operational Effeciencies
    • Partner Contribution & Ecosystem
  • What does it provide
    • Approved APIs for app developers
    • Provides design guidance for backend API developers
• Taming the Monolith – Challenges + Demo
