The misconception that product led growth implies a business neglects sales couldn’t be further from the truth. In reality, product led growth (PLG) involves integrating sales later in the customer journey, placing the purchasing power back in the hands of your users. This self-service approach is highly effective, especially when paired with insightful user data to streamline and target growth. For AI-centric companies, this product-led strategy serves as a fundamental pillar for success.

When monetizing APIs, specific ways exist to entice customers to begin using your services. Much of the time, users like to see some value before they commit to becoming a full-blown paid customer. Other times, users want to start on a free tier and, hopefully, will upgrade later. One of the most popular billing providers we see used for API monetization is Stripe, and thankfully, by using Stripe and Moesif together, you can quickly implement a Freemium model.

Data mesh, it’s one of the hottest data science topics among software engineering teams, data scientists, and anyone interested in building a more effective data infrastructure. This concept is a relatively new model for data management, helping large enterprises scale their data footprint to accelerate digital transformation. Many industries, like retail and banking, see how crucial data is, yet few have mastered ways to harness it. API generation for data mesh is one of the ways you can start.

API gateways serve as the final checkpoint for your APIs. As such, gateway configuration is critical to ensuring that your APIs remain secure, available, and responsive. Ensuring that all changes to these configurations are intentional and follow your organization's best practices is key to maintaining a robust API gateway deployment. decK 1.28 adds a brand new feature that allows you to natively validate your gateway configurations against custom rule sets.

How does gRPC work? A quick Google search would tell you that it uses HTTP/2.0 under the hood, but that’s about it. Most available guides talk about gRPC internals by assuming that you are already deeply familiar with HTTP/2.0, and the only proper documentation for HTTP/2 is the official RFC document, which doesn’t contain implementation details, and talks in abstract terms.

As the world undergoes a digital transformation, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are becoming increasingly important. An API is a set of rules allowing the software to communicate with others. In other words, APIs act as a bridge between different applications. As a business owner, staying up-to-date on the latest API trends is essential. This article will discuss 11 important API initiatives for the upcoming year.

When it comes to monetizing APIs, there are a lot of ways you can do it. One popular way to do so is to charge based on how many unique users are utilizing your API. A good example would be charging $7 per month for each user using your API. For a company with five users accessing the API in a given month, their monthly statement would show a charge of $35 (plus any applicable taxes).
