KPIs for APIs
In order to manage APIs effectively, it is important to treat them as products, or rather, to make APIs part of the product management practice. And while KPIs are not the only thing necessary for managing APIs as a product, it is important to have them so that there are clear objectives about what should be achieved, and clear ways of how to measure progress and success.
Three Categories
In this interview, Eric presents the three categories of KPIs he found in his research, presents examples for each of these three categories, and gives advice on how to avoid KPIs that may not measure the right things.
1. KPIs for measuring revenue and growth, and for measuring the consumption of services.
2. KPIs for controlling cost, for measuring cost savings, and for improving efficiency.
3. KPIs for risk mitigation and for improving resilience.
