Reshaping the business landscape with serverless APIs

Things are changing for the modern business. API-first development and microservices architecture is opening the door to new innovations. Many of these new approaches are possible in part due to the evolution of serverless technology, which eliminates the need for the management of infrastructure.

Fully managed infrastructure allows for allocating resources to solving a business problem, rather than managing the IT infrastructure. This results in more agility, reduced operating cost, and shorter time-to-market, which is important for organizations of any size.

Serverless is for all, no matter the size

The benefits serverless offers is independent of the size of the company. For example:

Startups need to quickly assess product-market fit and build prototypes to test their hypotheses.

With limited resources, startups can build, measure, and iterate their way to success with execution-based pricing models.
Unlocks a new generation of startups, all built on the idea that a small group of people with a limited budget can be disruptive.
As they evolve, they’ll benefit from serverless much in the same way as larger organizations do.

Enterprises need to adapt to constantly evolving customer requirements to stay competitive with agile, fast moving startups.

Serverless enables a business to grow without worrying about managing infrastructure and the planning associated with it.
Promotes move to architectural patterns that increase the flexibility and agility of software development.
Provides the ability to compete at the same level as more nimble players, while consistently growing the business.

Both benefit equally from a serverless approach, for different reasons.

Improved, stronger integration for API-first applications

Over the past year, API Management has collaborated with Azure Functions to build a stronger integration between the two services. Over the past year, API Management has collaborated with Azure Functions to build a stronger integration between the two services. Our goal is to increase developers’ productivity and provide better, more impactful experiences for creating serverless, API-first applications.

To achieve that goal, we are announcing that two new capabilities are now generally available:

Expose a Function App via API Management by linking it to a new or existing API.
Monitor, debug, and maintain applications built with Functions and API Management via distributed tracing in Application Insights.

Azure API Management simplifies publishing of APIs as well as their consumption by clients. It allows for abstraction of APIs from their implementation. APIs are governed through policies, managed from a unified plane, optimized through caching, and published for frictionless consumption through a developer portal.

API Management is the front door for your application. Azure Functions provide serverless compute and eliminate the initial friction associated with implementing new applications. Functions allow for agile assembly of prototypes and production-grade solutions.

Moving into the future

The proliferation of APIs and the API economy has given rise to new opportunities for businesses of all sizes. API-first development is now a necessary approach to ensure future success. This is why we are excited about the investments we've made this year and how we are making API architectures easier to adopt by leveraging serverless technology.

And the winner is: Circular Economy 2030 rewards innovation in sustainability

In 2018, the global demand for natural resources was 1.7 times more than what the Earth can support in one year. Between pollution, consumption, wasted energy and agricultural needs, we are using more ecological resources than the Earth can regenerate. But with the help of modern technology, business can be a positive catalyst for the changes we need to make to build a sustainable future.That’s why we’ve partnered with SAP to host a sustainability contest for social entrepreneurs called Circular Economy 2030. We kicked this contest off at the 2019 World Economic Forum at Davos by inviting thought leaders from around the world to submit a revenue-generating idea that uses both Google Cloud and SAP technology to advance a circular economy—a holistic system that aims to redefine growth, focusing on positive society-wide benefits. It is based on three principles: design out waste, keep products in use, and regenerate natural resources.At the heart of the circular economy concept is the idea of decoupling economic growth from resource use to support sustainable development. It’s the kind of economy that could help generate $4.5 trillion of new economic output by 2030, which is particularly timely given the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda, which consists of 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) that include ending poverty, establishing gender equality, and taking climate action. Specifically, our Circular Economy 2030 contest is focused on SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.Choosing the Circular Economy 2030 contest winnersIn collaboration with UN Environment, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, and the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data, we reviewed more than 250 applications from more than 50 countries. Applicants’ ideas spanned the breadth of the circular economy, addressing food waste, e-waste, renewable energy, and behavioral change, to name a few. To select the finalists, we worked with leaders from each of our organizations with expertise in cloud computing, sustainability, and sustainable development. The judges include:Alison Wagonfeld, Chief Marketing Officer, Google CloudAlicia Tillman, Chief Marketing Officer, SAPKate Brandt, Google Sustainability Officer, GoogleDaniel Schmid, Chief Sustainability Officer, SAPAndrew Morlet, Chief Executive, Ellen MacArthur FoundationClaire Melamed, Chief Executive Officer, Global Partnership for Sustainable Development DataFatou Ndoye, Deputy Director, UN EnvironmentFollowing our judging selection round, the next step was announcing the five finalists during an interdisciplinary panel session at the Google Cloud Next ’19 conference in San Francisco: “Circular Economy 2030: Cloud Computing for a Sustainable Revolution.” Whether working to track industrial waste flows for increased accountability or addressing rural food waste with solar-powered cold storage, the Circular Economy 2030 finalists all excelled across the assessment criteria of original idea, business model, potential impact, and technical innovation.Here’s more detail about the finalists and their social enterprises:We congratulate each of the winners not only for their insightful proposals, but for their passion for social wellbeing and sustainability. Four of these finalists will receive a prize of $45,000 in funding and in-kind benefits—and the grand prize winner will receive $200,000 in in-kind benefits, plus participation in the Google Cloud for Startups bootcamp.Today, Google Cloud and SAP are thrilled to announce that the grand prize winner of the Circular Economy Contest is Michael Groves, Founder of Topolytics.During the final stage of choosing the winner, the finalists flew out to San Francisco and participated in an in-person solve-a-thon that included both interactive workshops and hands-on problem-solving sessions with Google Cloud and SAP volunteers—all with the goal of preparing for their final presentation pitch. After much deliberation, we selected Topolytics, led by founder Michael Groves. The business idea for Topolytics not only met our judging criteria in terms of originality, but also demonstrated a well-researched proposal with a high potential for advanced application of both Google Cloud and SAP technology. Moreover, we were impressed by Groves’ engagement and willingness to roll up his sleeves during the interactive workshop, where he demonstrated a strong level of commitment to learning and growth. That was especially evident during the final presentation, where Groves incorporated the feedback provided by our teams throughout the weekend.We congratulate Michael and can’t wait to see more from Topolytics. The Circular Economy 2030 contest is over, but the adventure continues. We look forward to ongoing collaboration with these social entrepreneurs, as well as the organizations that supported this initiative. A sustainable future demands that we create change in the present, and it’s an effort we can work on together.
