Platform thinking: API products, tooling and metrics feat. Daniel Kocot of codecentric AG

This week on the API Intersection podcast, we interviewed Daniel Kocot, Head of API Experience and Operations at Codecentric AG. Codecentric AG is a leader in agile software development and innovative technologies in Germany. Daniel's job is to get his customers to answer the question, "why are we thinking in APIs?" He aims to get them to shift their mindset to specialized tools, treating your APIs as products and understanding the end goal that one's trying to achieve with the desire to design a bunch of APIs. _____ To subscribe to the podcast, visit https://stoplight.io/podcast --- API Intersection Podcast listeners are invited to sign up for Stoplight and save up to $650!
