Managing Egress APIs for AI and SaaS Applications
As organizations rapidly adopt AI services and SaaS platforms, managing egress APIs (outbound calls to external services) has become essential. Traditional API management focuses on inbound traffic, but modern architectures must also govern, secure, and optimize outbound traffic to providers like OpenAI, and Salesforce.
This session will cover best practices for rate limiting, cost control, authentication management, and observability in egress APIs. Learn how to apply API management policies to outbound calls, ensuring resilience, cost efficiency, and compliance in your AI and SaaS integrations.
Whether you're building AI-powered applications or integrating with multiple SaaS platforms, this talk will provide practical insights into building a unified management layer for outbound traffic, ensuring your systems are both flexible and future-proof in a rapidly evolving technology landscape.
