Globalization, Black Swans, and APIs
- 1. Globalization,Black Swans,and APIs Delivering APIs to a global audience #gluecon #apinext Sam Ramji, @sramji VP Strategy Apigee
- 2. There are more APIs than ever before
- 3. Data from Programmable Web
- 4. But that only tells part of the story
- 5. API traffic is up 20x from last year
- 6. Growth of Netflix API
- 7. Adoption is faster than with previous waves
- 9. And it’s going to go higher
- 10. WimElfrinks Chief Globalization Officer Cisco
- 11. With tons of different connected devices
- 13. So API Virtualization is even more relevant than a year ago
- 14. But the biggest change is that APIs have gone global
- 15. GLOBALIZATION
- 16. Globalization itself is not new
- 18. But it is more important than ever to APIs
- 20. This is about business and technology
- 21. Technology is about global reach
- 22. Business is about local delivery
- 23. And while the opportunity is global
- 25. The restrictions are local
- 27. And with Black Swans.
- 28. BLACKSWANS
- 29. Black Swans are catastrophic events
- 30. Black Swans are catastrophic events frequently predictable in hindsight
- 32. “ What we call here a Black Swan … is an event with the following three attributes. First, it is an outlier, as it lies outside the realm of regular expectations, because nothing in the past can convincingly point to its possibility. Second, it carries an extreme impact. Third, in spite of its outlier status, human nature makes us concoct explanations for its occurrence after the fact, making it explainable and predictable. Nassim Nicholas Taleb
- 33. A strong correlation exists between Black Swans and “fat tail” distributions
- 35. Avoid the purple curve.
- 36. GLOBALIZING APIS
- 37. Three rules for globalizing APIs and hiding from the Black Swan
- 38. Distribute Locally Serve Elastically Specialize Universally
- 39. distribute locally Cash is king
- 40. distribute locally Cache is king
- 41. Vertical Caching
- 44. distribute locally Structure your API for cacheability Offload OAuth and traffic processing Your API is the control plane for your CDN
- 45. serve elastically Mobile plus global equals spikes of insanity
- 46. serve elastically Sometimes this is called catastrophic success
- 47. serve elastically Anycasting Cloudscaling Geographic redundancy
- 48. specialize universally One size fits none
- 49. specialize universally Security protocol and version Audit and regulation compliance Device format and bandwidth
- 50. Distribute Locally Serve Elastically Specialize Universally
- 51. Following this guidance will drastically improve your operational resilience
- 53. And help you hide from the Black Swan
- 55. While scaling your business globally
- 56. IN CONCLUSION
- 57. Taleb offers 10 rules for a Black Swan-resilient society.
- 58. Rule number 6 is
- 59. “ Don’t give children sticks of dynamite, even if they come with a warning label. Nassim Nicholas Taleb
- 60. APIs have arrived on a global scale and they are dynamite.
- 61. APIs can dematerialize obstacles to your business
- 63. APIs can destroy your infrastructure
- 65. But you are not children and you have seen the warning label
- 66. Be forewarned and forearmed
- 67. Distribute locally, serve elastically, and specialize universally
