Technologists are good at technology, but they aren't always aware of the impacts it has on business in real-time. When it comes to delivering APIs and event-driven architecture, many developers focus on the technical details, as they should, but often times at the cost of what actually matters to the business being served by the APIs and event-driven approaches. This reality often results in a misalignment between IT and business groups, something that has been playing out for decades and results in the legacy technical debt that almost every company of a certain size suffers from.
After spending time assessing the companies that are making the biggest impact with APIs and streaming technology, you begin to see that event-driven APIs aren't just about being able to technically deliver in real-time, it is about being able to do business in real-time and responding to what matters as it occurs. Something that isn't always evident to the technologists delivering the underlying technology, and dialing in the details of event-driven approaches to doing APIs. All of this isn't just about responding to inserts, updates, and deletes in a system, it is about identifying the most significant and meaningful changes in the underlying systems that a business depends on to get things done each day.
