Derric Gilling, co-founder and CEO of Moesif, presented a slide deck at API Days Live NY focused on making API platforms easier for developers to adopt by tracking the developer funnel and improving developer experience (DevEx). Gilling, who has a background as a computer architect at Intel and studied at the University of Michigan, emphasized the importance of metrics like Developer Funnel and Time to First Hello World (TTFHW) in enhancing DevEx. He advocated for using Moesif, a tool that offers a 14-day free trial, to optimize these metrics. The presentation also highlighted Moesif's capabilities in API observability and internal chargeback models for API and AI usage, as well as the introduction of Moesif Basic Insights for WSO2 API Manager, designed to provide free, integrated, and AI-ready API analytics solutions.
