Comment on The Value of APIs for Valuable Data by steve

Hi Rafael, thank you for the comment – yes sure – and I think they were valid points on his part. It’s natural that there are concerns about where the data goes plus loosing control of the interface. As you say – control is key. I just added the post because there seemed to be somewhat of an impression of black and white in that data is either passed by fully proprietary channels or it’s into a model where it’s passed to a third party to distribute.

In reality a hybrid approach and a “slow opening” seems to be the winner as you point out. This way customers get the benefits and can integrate better but there’s no necessary reliance on a third party.

Thanks to you all for a thought provoking panel!

[...] Agents have been around forever in one form or another. When used to deliver API services, API agents are different than proxies because they are in-process, and in the path of the transaction – you don’t have any redirection. Steve Willmot, 3scale’s CEO, describes their agent-based approach as ‘proxyless by design‘ and does a great job of explaining the benefits in his recent response. [...]
