Rein in API sprawl with F5 and Google Cloud
F5, Tuesday, January 20th, 2026
Fueled by modern application architectures and AI solutions, today's digital businesses are faced with constantly expanding API connectivity. Organizations likely interact with hundreds of APIs daily-and more are being added all the time.
As API endpoints continue to pile up, IT departments are struggling to keep pace. According to the F5 2025 State of Application Strategy Report, 58% of organizations are currently experiencing API sprawl. And by 2030, it's expected that 2 billion APIs will be in play.
The risks of unseen and unmanaged integrations
This constant influx of new API endpoints, combined with fragmented approaches to management, can lead to shadow APIs: unidentified connections in the application landscape that aren't managed or secured.
