Salary benchmarks
Our take
APIs are key to digital transformation, enabling faster connections and greater agility for businesses. However, managing hundreds of APIs at once can be a major challenge for large organizations. Gravitee.io is one of the companies addressing this need, entering a market expected to exceed $200B in the coming years.
Gravitee.io is tapping into a rapidly growing space, following the success of companies like Mulesoft, which was acquired by Salesforce, and Plaid, valued at $13B. With nearly 75% of large US organizations looking to expand their use of APIs, the demand for effective API management is clear.
With strong funding and the market's growth, Gravitee.io is well-positioned to make an impact. As more businesses rely on APIs, the company is gearing up to help organizations streamline and manage their complex tech ecosystems.
