Summary

APIs are everywhere, an essential piece of any app or service that gets built, but how do you know that

those APIs you’re using are working?

Or if they are performing without impacting your end users?

Introducing APImetrics – Intelligent API Monitoring


API Performance is highly variable

• Slow responding APIs impact user experience• Apps get blamed for 3rd party performance issues• APIs run with persistent error rates• If you’re not measuring your APIs you can’t fix

problems

Challenges and Business ImpactProblem

• Intermittent API failuresImpact• Poor customer

experience and poor reviews

Example• API failed at random

intervals due to a failing service

Problem• Poor or unintelligible

error messages

Impact• Developers move to

systems that are easier to use i.e. Twilio

Example• “SVC-001” error• Undocumented errors

Problem• Anecdotal data from

developers about performance problems

Impact• Developers don’t

convert to customers of the API service

Example• Developers unable to

use APIs• API service manager

not able to identify problems

Problem• Existing test and

monitoring tools not showing problems

Impact• Customers find out

about problems before you do!

Example• Unresponsive APIs

showing as active when they were not
