How APIs Make or Break Multi-Cloud Strategies

Episode 24 of The API Podcast with Fexingo dives into the critical role APIs play in multi-cloud architectures. Lucas and Luna explore how companies like Netflix and Uber use API layers to manage complexity across AWS, GCP, and Azure. They dissect the trade-offs between abstraction and performance, why a poorly designed API can trap you in a cloud provider, and the rise of the API-as-contract pattern. Specific examples include Netflix's Spinnaker API for multi-cloud deployments and Uber's API gateway that routes across cloud regions. No fluff—just concrete lessons for engineers building for the cloud-native world. #API #MultiCloud #CloudNative #Netflix #Uber #AWS #GCP #Azure #Spinnaker #APIGateway #Abstraction #CloudStrategy #DeveloperExperience #VendorLockIn #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheAPIPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
