In the light of “The Digital Crunch Time: 2022 State of Applications and APIs,” it was revealed that a whopping 59% of firms plan to broaden their hybrid cloud adoption within the next year. Hybrid cloud – a blend of on-premise infrastructure and public cloud computing venues like Google Cloud – effectively fulfills specific needs that neither an exclusively public nor private cloud could match individually. Consequently, hybrid environments have gained substantial ground in the tech realm.
APIs have undeniably proven their worth in business success, becoming practically ubiquitous in the industry. APIs simplify the process of creating software while achieving efficiency, collaboration, and agility. But as their popularity surges, managing these invaluable resources, particularly at greater scales across the hybrid environments, presents a genuine challenge.
As businesses continue to grow, the demand for APIs intensifies. This ultimately translates to thousands of transactions every second, putting forward a need for central governance. This, however, is easier said than done, because scaling APIs means that more transactions happen simultaneously, which can be difficult to manage efficiently.
Operating APIs within hybrid environments come with a slew of perks, such as enhanced latency and compliance with regulations. Nevertheless, the associated difficulties call for a pragmatic and thoughtful approach in tackling them. An example of this is constructing an adept API team called the Center for Enablement, which ensures the building of a dependable API model, all the while scrutinizing governance and security aspects.
Future strategies for API teams lean towards reducing the central teams’ size or redefining their roles in due course for more effective management.

Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can't wait to work in many more projects together!
