Today’s modern applications are made up of thousands of loosely connected private and publicly exposed APIs, each serving a specific function. This dynamic API landscape, in combination with the decentralized nature of microservice development, can be overwhelmingly challenging to manage—let alone govern or secure adequately. API sprawl is often created as a result, leading to fragmented or nonexistent internal API documentation, knowledge bases, and toolsets.

As your applications grow, your teams may be faced with managing a complex, expanding mesh of potentially thousands of loosely connected APIs—each one a new point of failure that can be difficult to track and patch.
