1. API Strategies to Accelerate Productivity and Digital Business: A Fireside Chat with IBM and MHP, A Porsche Company Eileen Lowry Vice President, Product Management IBM Integration Adrian Grünther Senior API Management Consultant MHP - A Porsche Company
2. How do companies create meaningful and engaging experiences at the rate and pace of today’s rapidly changing digital world while maximizing revenue potential?
3. Use GraphQL to access the data you need Adopt event-driven architecture for real-time access Apply AI throughout the API lifecycle 3 API strategies to accelerate productivity and digital strategies 1 2 3
4. Use GraphQL to access the data you need Market shifts REST APIs have been the gold standard but have challenges that new API formats, like GraphQL, are addressing. What’s needed GraphQL APIs abstract backends away and provide: — Fine-grained control over data — Reduced number of requests — Introspection — Support for complex queries / © 2023 IBM Corporation 4 1
5. GraphQL's flexibility allows for faster and more robust apps and development decreases the number and size of network requests simplifies data aggregation from multiple sources. GraphQL GraphQL GraphQL is a new layer of abstraction that lets you integrate with data wherever it is, in any cloud
6. IBM’s innovative GraphQL API engine: StepZen • Declaratively defined (no-code) • Cloud native architecture • Multi-tenant • Auto-scaling • Developer friendly • DevOps friendly
7. Adopt event-driven architecture for real-time access Market shifts Business events occur continuously within every organization. By connecting the dots between these events, businesses can detect and respond to new trends, customer issues or competitive threats in real-time. What’s needed To become event-driven, organizations need to be able to: — Discover and locate events across many disparate data sources — Uncover insights — Accelerate the re-use of events API Days Paris / © 2023 IBM Corporation 7 2
8. Define business scenarios in a no-code authoring canvas to act in real-time and automate decisions. Build a self-service catalog of event sources for users to securely browse and utilize. Event Processing Collect streams of real-time business events with enterprise-grade Apache Kafka. Event Streams Event Endpoint Management API Days Paris / © 2023 IBM Corporation 8 IBM Event Automation includes a composable set of capabilities to detect situations, act in real time, and automate work
9. Apply AI throughout the API lifecycle Market shifts AI can accelerate the speed and efficiency of operations, including in the development and management of APIs. 80% of enterprises are working with or planning to adopt generative AI1 What’s needed Comprehensive API management that includes easy-to-use, built-in generative AI capabilities to assist in creating APIs faster, generating API documentation, and more.
