In fact, both cloud deployments and mobile applications have come to rely so heavily on APIs that you cant have either without an API managing components somewhere along the line. Many larger companies, especially those with a big online presence, have hundreds or even thousands of APIs embedded in their infrastructure. The growth of APIs will only continue to increase.
The ingenious thing about APIs is that many of them are just tiny snippets of code, and all are designed to be small and unobtrusive in terms of their network resource requirements
