Q And now it's like a given for not everyone, but for a lot of people. What's your take on sort of the evolution of how people have embraced the mindset around APIs?
A Yeah, if you go back, you know, in electricity, everyone had their own electricity power center next to their factories, right? And then eventually became centralized and then distribute electricity across the world. And that's what cloud computing is, right? Everyone started to build their own data centers. And now eventually, like going back to the IBM founder vision, where there only be Three or five giant computer in the world. So history repeats itself. So you just go back and just put the knowledge in there. So that it's happening for various reasons. But at infrastructure level, you know, there's three different kinds of APIs. There's the public APIs, which are basically API companies, but they're public API accessible. There's partner APIs, which are kind of semi-public and you only open it up to mission critical partners, but are not open to everybody. And then you have the internal APIs.
