Developers Underestimate Time to Build Custom Integrations: Nylas Survey
APIs are the “A” in MACH, the architecture checklist that defines true composable systems. This Nylas survey shows why APIs matter: half (53%) of the developers who responded said they could build an email integration in one to five months to build without using APIs, but Nylas’ own experience shows it really takes one year with three developers working on the project. It goes a lot quicker if an API is used instead.
