Why is API monitoring required?

API monitoring ensures that APIs are working as expected and are available. In the modern era, most organizations are engaged in digital transformation, and they are relying on APIs to enable this digital transformation. Most organizations depend on APIs for critical business transactions. For organizations, their APIs must always be available to ensure business continuity, and it is vital to implement robust monitoring systems for APIs to ensure their performance and correctness.

Monitoring APIs helps developers discover any issues before they escalate and mitigate any risks that might result in revenue loss.

For example, let’s say that an API related to payment is not responding and is impacting the payments that customers are making from your eCommerce application. This may lead to revenue loss for your business. Monitoring can troubleshoot the issue and fix it quickly to prevent any further revenue loss.
