Summary

In a recent episode of the Breaking Changes podcast, host Kin Lane interviewed Deepa Goyal, PayPal's Group Product Manager, to explore the intricacies of API product management. Deepa, who transitioned from Twilio to PayPal, offers an insightful perspective on treating APIs as products, emphasizing the need for standardization and a shared vocabulary to assess API maturity. Throughout the discussion, she highlighted the challenges of monetizing APIs and setting appropriate pricing while stressing the importance of moving beyond traditional metrics like "time to first API call" to "time to first API transaction," which measures the time taken for a developer to make a business-impacting API call. The conversation underscored the critical role of API product managers in bridging the gap between business needs and technological capabilities, thereby driving digital transformation within enterprises. The episode is available on multiple platforms, including Spotify, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Amazon Music, and YouTube.
