Abstract

Navigating the world of software development often involves tackling unexpected challenges and dealing with inefficient processes. As organizations increasingly use a mix of internal and external APIs, including those from SaaS, partners, and AI/LLM, effective API management becomes essential. This report dives into how platform engineering can streamline these processes, offering developers secure, self-service access to resources while ensuring compliance and efficient management. Discover how modern tools like Envoy proxy and Istio are transforming API management. These tools are designed to handle complex service communications and are now enhanced to manage AI/LLM use cases effectively. Author Christian Posta explores the shortcomings of traditional API management systems and why they struggle to keep up in today's automated, cloud native environments.
