Back in August 2019 I started to use RapidAPI.com for personal Open Innovation (Heroku hosted) API related side projects :

These side projects helped me to learn a lot about API monetization... and pretty soon I started to dream about deploying that kind of technology at an Organizational Level, at OPT-NC.

That helped us a lot to explain how :

- Structure APIs endpoints and data to be ready for its cloud usage, since the beginning of the project
- APIs documentation can or should be released
- Drastically decrease Time To Market, especially on innovation projects
- To promote APIs with demos & interactive integrations
- Impact internal culture by showcasing around APIs with Spotlights
- Talking and promoting popularity and public availability and performances metrics
