By acquiring Apigee, as Google said Thursday it had agreed to do, the Internet giant will deliver to its cloud resellers and integrators a simpler means of helping their customers develop broader ecosystems around their own digital assets.
Google agreed to purchase the publicly traded company based in San Jose, Calif., a developer of tools and services for deploying and managing APIs, for $625 million.
Apigee’s software enables users to offer APIs to outside developers, collect analytics on their use, and secure the connections those software interfaces establish with outside applications.
