What Is APIOps? And How to Be Successful at APIOps

Since the first introduction of the term DevOps, it seems that new ‘Ops” related terms pop up as quickly as technology trends. For example:

• AIOPs: Enhance and automate various IT processes with AI.
• MLOps: Develop, deploy, and manage machine learning.
• FinOps: Optimizing and managing cloud cost. 
• DevSecOps: Integrate security into the Software development lifecycle (SDLC).
• GitOps: Manage and deploy infrastructure and applications (code and configuration) using Git. 

I bet the next Ops-related term will be ChatGPT-Ops ;-). Finally, an OPs term that has popped up in recent months is APIOps, but what does it mean, especially as APIs are not new and come in many different styles?
