The API product management newsletter #005 – 20 June 2023

The API product management newsletter, authored by Jennifer Craig, explores various facets of API management, including whether APIs should be treated as standalone products, a topic recently debated at the Product Tank Cologne meet-up. Opinions vary, with Audrey Kolski advocating for treating all APIs as products, while Tim Klein suggests this should apply only to external APIs. The newsletter also highlights a Medium article by Anwesha Bhattacharjee on applying design theory to API development, addressing common hurdles faced by product managers, and a LinkedIn post by Ankit Shukla illustrating Uber's use of multiple services interconnected through APIs. Additionally, it shares job vacancies in API product management and encourages readers to contribute useful resources for future editions. The newsletter, produced by Tyk, aims to aid product teams in maximizing business value from their API endeavors.
