APIs are more important than ever

We continue to see huge growth in API adoption

For many startups and disrupters, APIs are the very core of their product

For most other organizations, APIs are the leading edge of innovation
![Page 6: APIs - A State of the Union - Defrag 2013 Keynote, Ross Garrett Layer 7 Director of Product Marketing](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/558716a6d8b42a2e648b45b6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
And even things are controlled by APIs these days
![Page 7: APIs - A State of the Union - Defrag 2013 Keynote, Ross Garrett Layer 7 Director of Product Marketing](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/558716a6d8b42a2e648b45b6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
And this has triggered a wave of investment and consolidation
![Page 8: APIs - A State of the Union - Defrag 2013 Keynote, Ross Garrett Layer 7 Director of Product Marketing](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/558716a6d8b42a2e648b45b6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Within this growth we start to see technology segmentation…
![Page 9: APIs - A State of the Union - Defrag 2013 Keynote, Ross Garrett Layer 7 Director of Product Marketing](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/558716a6d8b42a2e648b45b6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Naturally leading to buyer segmentation…

Affinity Segmentation…

Delivery Segmentation…

Yet, we can realize these diverse
requirements via a single product
