Top API-related challenges in business:
1. Lack of API-specific product manager
2. Lack of predefined standard
3. Lack of API-related engineering skills
Biggest market opportunity: API management for *consumption* of APIs. The focus of API management so far has been almost exclusively for API producers.
—Mark O’Neill, VP Research at Gartner
@jeremiahlee Changing focus to the API Consumer is exactly what we realized was needed for API client code generation. That's what we have done with #kiota
- Discover the API you need
- Select the just the resources your app needs
- Generate the API client code for those resources in your language
- Consume the API in your app

@darrel_miller That's interesting for the client-side aspect of API management! Thanks for sharing.
I think Mark was referring more to organizations managing access, usage, internal cost-attribution of the external API vendors used by internal teams.
