Avoid High Costs of Bad APIs

If APIs are not designed right, the highest cost is users not using the API resulting in new versions, redesigns and rework causing huge costs and lost opportunity.

This can be avoided. Build API backends that users can test drive, give feedback and iteratively apply feedback until users sign off on what they need and what is delivered.

Due to past prototyping technologies and costs, this was previously not possible. Now it is, with a bonus that API Designers do not require coding skills.

API Backends can be designed in minutes to hours, not weeks to months and require only a browser. For users test driving APIs, any standard API request tools are used. No custom software installs for designers or users are needed.

Designers model resources without needing to know that underneath databases, API layers and security are auto generating seamlessly. At the end, fully functioning API backends are deployed to the cloud with real databases. Get true user API user experience because underneath they are real deployed API backends.

When users sign off, deliver not only a working API prototype but also clear specifications for development. Auto generate API documentation including OpenAPI, GraphQL and Postman. Jump start user interface design, quality assurance and database development using the API backend prototype.
