The API Observability Gap
Engineering Time Wasted
Teams lose 15-20 hours weekly debugging issues across microservices architectures with inadequate visibility.
Unused API Potential
40% of internal APIs remain unused or underutilized due to poor visibility and developer experience.
Revenue Impact
API products lose $2M+ annually from poor developer experience and slow issue resolution times.
In a $4.2B API management market growing 25% YoY, our research with 45 companies revealed 78% struggle with microservice debugging and 65% make critical API decisions based on intuition, not data.
