API Aggregator Challenges in the FinTech & Ecommerce World feat. Eric Yu of Rutter

This week on the API Intersection podcast, we spoke with Eric Yu, a co-founder of Rutter API, a universal API aggregator for various types of business software tasked with standardizing all APIs into a unified format. They focus on two primary buckets: Ecommerce ecosystems apps, and fintech customers. Rutter lets customers connect their accounting, commerce, payment, and subscription platforms in a single flow.

A universal API aggregator is a great solution to scale quickly, and we covered the benefits of utilizing one in our previous podcast episode. Increased security options, ease of integration, and the ability to scale quickly are just a few of the benefits of utilizing an aggregator. However, on the side of the aggregator, there are still quite a few challenges that aggregators face in today's API industry.
