"IBM's API Connect 12.1: Because Your Company's API Sprawl Wasn't Already a Hot Mess"
In a desperate attempt to tame the API sprawl beast, IBM has unleashed API Connect 12.1, a supposed solution to the chaos that is your company's API landscape. With a "guided wizard" that's probably just a fancy name for "API therapist," this platform promises to bring order to the madness, because manually keeping track of thousands of APIs was getting old. Neeraj Nargund, the man behind IBM's strategic partnerships, claims that smart APIs infused with AI will save the day, but let's be real, it's just a fancy way of saying "we're throwing AI at the problem and hoping it sticks." The platform supports hybrid integration because, of course, your company uses multiple hyperscalers and runs on the edge, on-prem, and probably in a few hidden servers in the janitor's closet. With API Connect 12.1, IBM is betting big on solving the API sprawl problem, but we all know the real solution is just to hire more interns to deal with it.
