APIs are the lifeblood of modern digital ecosystems, driving 80% of internet traffic and enabling seamless integration between applications, services, and devices. The gap between API specifications and production behavior—known as "API drift"—is a major source of inefficiency and friction in the API ecosystem. Drawing insights from APIContext's recent white paper, this discussion will explore the state of API specifications, their critical role in ensuring interoperability, and why keeping them up-to-date and accurate is essential for robust API governance. Join us for Identerati Office Hours to uncover insights on: 🚀 The Role of APIs: Powering 80% of all internet traffic, APIs are the backbone of modern digital applications. 📉 The Problem of API Drift: 25% of APIs don't conform to their specifications. What is the impact to performance and reliability? 🛠️ Best Practices for API Governance: Explore actionable strategies to mitigate API drift, from publishing clear OpenAPI Specifications to proactive monitoring. 🤖 Agentic AI: Amplifying API Drift: The rise of autonomous AI agents adds a new layer of complexity to the existing challenge of API drift. Managing agent interactions and ensuring they adhere to evolving API specifications makes maintaining accuracy and preventing drift even more critical.
