For CTOs: Cost impact of API breaking changes

As a CTO, are you truly aware of how much API downtime is costing your business? Beyond the obvious financial losses, API failures silently erode your company's foundation through damaged customer trust, employee burnout, missed opportunities, and strained partner relationships. Every minute of downtime isn't just a technical hiccup – it's a cascade of consequences affecting your entire organization's health and bottom line.

Imagine catching breaking changes and errors in real-time with full context to reproduce and fix issues fast, while your team receives instant alerts through Slack or email when critical thresholds are crossed. Instead of scrambling to understand complex API issues, you could effortlessly capture entire request-response chains for quick resolution.

With proper API observability, you can track anomalies that signal potential problems before they impact your users, transform your API analytics into actionable insights like Google Analytics for your APIs, and ensure your engineering teams have complete context for rapid issue resolution.

Don't let API downtime silently drain your resources.
