In this VMblog expert interview, we sit down with Alex Drag, the Director of Product Marketing at Gravitee, a leading open source API platform, enabling worldwide developers and business users to build, manage and monitor their APIs. In this interview, Drag discusses the company's solution for improving API management, focusing on the entire API lifecycle and the integration of AI for enhanced security and governance. We also explored the potential of a unified API management layer to address API sprawl and control costs in AI use cases. Finally, we discussed the upcoming Edge conference, featuring discussions on the current and future state of API management. Kicking things off, Drag provided insight into Gravitee's role in API Management. He discussed how Gravitee improves API management by addressing the entire API lifecycle, from ideation and design to deprecation. He emphasized Gravitee's role in securing the API transaction, ensuring efficient technical and cost-effective consumption, and facilitating API discovery through developer portals. He also introduced the concept of event-native API management, allowing the exposure of event broker resources like Kafka and RabbitMQ as APIs. Watch and learn, as Drag digs into the details behind the three pillars of good API management. The first pillar is the use of API gateways for various backend resources, including streaming and event broker services. The second pillar is the concept of a multi-gateway approach, which consolidates various APIs into one solution. The third pillar is the integration of AI into API management to make API publication, exposure, and security easier, as well as using API management to improve AI. Drag points out that these three pillars could be used to enhance both traditional APIs and event-native APIs while maintaining high security and governance. We also discuss the upcoming Edge conference, hosted by Gravitee, which takes place virtually from June 25 to 27.

During the interview, Puneet explores how his company helps others transition to a usage-based pricing model, and explains why it is so important. It seems as though many companies are talking about integrating AI into their apps, but very few seem to be thinking about how to actually build a profitable business around it. Puneet shares his experience and expertise here. He believes the trend towards usage-based pricing has been accelerated by LLMs and he encourages people not to be scared by the new model. The company offers the Amberflo AI Monetization Platform, an integrated set of product offerings that enable businesses to successfully monetize their next generation AI/ML and Usage-Based products and services. ‍While Generative AI models and AI/ML infrastructure providers are making their models accessible to developers via APIs, there are several critical monetization challenges that must be addressed to ensure the successful and profitable business outcome. AI/ML models and infrastructure are delivered on a usage basis. The provider charges for the use of the model and infrastructure on a metered usage model. When businesses incorporate these models into their applications, they have to meter and track the underlying AI/ML infrastructure being used at a per user or customer level.
