In just 36 hours, more than 1,600 students designed and built 117 impressive projects. Vonage is a proud sponsor of the online hackathon that challenged the student developers in India to build applications that are useful for society. We will cut off raffle entries on December 15th and make an announcement of the winner the following day.Īll those that contribute to the 2018 research will also receive early access to 2018's report, targeted to release in March 2018.Vonage and the Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology, Surat celebrated the start of the year 2022 with a hackathon called DotSlash 5.0. Please note the drone contest is only eligible for US & Canada world-wide participation in the survey is encouraged. All questions are optional, and if you would like to remain anonymous, you can! That said, if you leave us your name and email address, you will be entered into a raffle for an iDrone Smart FY603 Mini Quadcopter. The research is still LIVE! And we would love for you to contribute! Please take 6 minutes to fill out our survey. The State of API Integration Survey is designed specifically for the app development community (stretching from engineering and IT to product and business leaders), with hope to further develop the data against our own API integration development. We're expanding our research in 2018 to better understand API development outside of our catalog of 165 applications. If data cannot flow from system-to-system, in real-time, have you really built an API integration?Įvent-Driven Architecture is certainly not a new methodology, but it's enjoying renewed support in the world of integration because it reduces coupling between services and provides a far more effcient way of synchronizing and updating data. The crux of integration is around orchestration. Nearly 40% Apps Do Not Support Event Framework Room for improvement in the coming year is continuing to migrate applications off of SOAP frameworks to REST APIs, and leveraging new platforms. General areas in need of improvement include support for event frameworks and metadata discovery. So when we saw that the community averaged around a 56.6 from our interactive API Integration scorecard, the data feels on par with our expectations.


While we will not name names here, what you need to know is that the BEST API scores at a 91, and the WORST API scores at a 34. We took a vote from our developers on which application they work with day-in and day-out is considered best-in-class and worst-in-class. While we will save a majority of the new research for 2018 reports, here's a sneak peek at some of the scorecard data we have collected so far: The scorecard reached far corners of the earth, and beat our expectations in number of completions. All the measures culminate to an interactive API Integration Scorecard, where readers rank their own API against a set of criteria unveiled in the report. The 2017 report set the benchmark for API integrations.

Our findings provided important key trends, correlating a prolific increase in web APIs to proof on how integral APIs have become in business strategy, product development and scalability. Last year we collected data from over 165 applications, covering 28,000+ integration instances, and 1.6+ billion API calls, all leading to the first annual State of API Integration Report of 2017.
