11. What can we detect ? What we do with the data ? Examples : API growth → anticipating more resources (and throttle policies) Bad behaviour → support projects to optimise them (retries, useless request, …) Retired APIs and Consumers → erase access to avoid security breaches Consumers with wrong channel → protect others consumers  Performance (better response time, better succes rate)  Sobriety (controlling resources, eliminating the unnecessary)  Security (limit the surface area, regulating use) Apidays 2024 Paris - La Poste BSCC 11
