API Economy By @AkanaInc | @ThingsExpo #IoT #M2M #Microservices #InternetOfThings

"People are a lot more knowledgeable about APIs now.

One problem: cloud computing is not a single market. It is in fact many interrelated markets, as its core service models, infrastructure-, platform-, and software as a service (SaaS), fragment as though they were so many pieces of eggshell. Bloomberg To bring order to this chaos, a new sub-market of th... (more)
