How evolving team topologies are driving APIOps adoption

Evolving team structures and the recognition of APIs as crucial business assets are driving the adoption of APIOps, reflecting the parallel growth of Tyk in the API management industry. Initially, APIs were treated as essential services managed by individual contributors, but as their business value became apparent, organizations began forming dedicated API teams. These teams, structured similarly to traditional software development teams, have necessitated the development of APIOps—a set of activities aimed at ensuring secure and reliable API delivery. APIOps includes key practices such as observability, deployment pipelines, task automation, and disaster recovery solutions. Tyk is at the forefront of this movement, offering tools like Tyk Operator and tykctl to support API teams in managing complex API configurations and publications. As organizations continue to face challenges in distributed API development, Tyk is positioned to lead discussions on team topologies and effective practices, driving forward the APIOps conversation.
