“As more enterprises worldwide rely on APIs to deliver great digital experiences, they are  increasingly turning to WSO2 API Manager, which now handles more than 18 trillion API calls each year,” said Eric Newcomer, WSO2 CTO. “We are excited to be identified as a Visionary by Gartner in the Magic Quadrant for Full Life Cycle Management as well as receive the second highest product score for three of five use cases in the Gartner Critical Capabilities for Full Life Cycle Management.”

API Management Moves Further into the Mainstream
Increasingly enterprises are relying on APIs to drive their critical digital initiatives, placing new demands on software teams and the solutions they use to implement for full lifecycle API management.

The Magic Quadrant for Full Life Cycle API Management³ observes, “The number of APIs within organizations is growing rapidly in IT departments and in lines of business. APIs form the connection points between platforms and ecosystems. Every connected mobile app, every website and every application deployed on a cloud service uses APIs. Software engineering leaders must develop a systematic approach to manage and govern the use of APIs across the organization by using a full life cycle API management offering.”

Meanwhile, the Critical Capabilities for Full Life Cycle API Management⁴ notes, “API adoption continues to expand as organizations adopt microservices and multicloud features, internal API management, along with a need to modernize, capitalize on and monetize legacy assets and data. Concerns around data privacy and security—driven by many high-profile API security breaches over the last 12 months—regulations, and event-driven and resilient architectures also remain strong. In response to these diverse requirements, vendors provide a broad range of functionality in this market.”
