Summary

In this chapter, we have taken you on a long journey and introduced you to many terms and concepts. You were introduced to configuring your first Provider Organization, Catalogs, spaces, and finally, the Developer Portal. All of this may seem a bit overwhelming at first, but as you go through your planning sessions to determine the structure and layout of your own organization, this will become clearer. It cannot be stressed enough how critical careful upfront planning and organization are to the success of your digital framework transformation. This will become more evident as you go through the API life cycle from development, to publishing, to retirement.

Now that you have learned about the foundation for setting up your API environments, our next chapter will expand on this by explaining and demonstrating the process of creating your own APIs.
