I'm not technical. Can I work with iDev?

Absolutely. Most of our clients are non-technical. Just tell us what you want the end result to look like — we handle all the technical details.

How much does it cost to hire iDev?

We quote individually based on project scope and complexity. Initial consultation is completely free — we give you a clear quote after understanding your needs. No fit, no charge.

How big is the iDev team?

A few core members, each capable of delivering full-stack independently. We flexibly assign people based on project scale and can run multiple projects simultaneously.

What happens after project delivery?

We provide complete code and documentation at handover. For ongoing feature development or maintenance, we offer monthly or per-project arrangements. Most clients choose long-term collaboration.

What if I'm not satisfied with the project midway?

We confirm with you at every stage before moving forward. If the direction is off, we adjust immediately. If it truly can't continue, completed work is settled normally and all code is yours.

我完全不懂技术，能合作吗？

当然可以。我们的大部分客户都不是技术背景。你只需要告诉我们你想要什么效果，技术实现的事情完全由我们来处理。

费用大概是多少？

根据项目复杂度和功能范围单独报价。初次沟通完全免费，我们会在了解需求后给出明确报价，合适再开始，不合适不收费。

团队有几个人？

核心团队几个人，都是能独立交付的全栈开发者。根据项目规模灵活安排人手，可以同时推进多个项目，不用等排期。

项目做完以后怎么维护？

交付时会提供完整的代码和文档。后续如果需要功能迭代或维护，可以按月或按次合作。大部分客户选择了长期合作。

做到一半不满意怎么办？

每个阶段交付前都会和你确认。如果方向不对，我们及时调整。如果实在无法继续，已完成的部分正常结算，代码归你。

API 经济持续扩张：2026年全球 API 市场的关键趋势

API Economy Continues to Expand: Key Trends in the 2026 Global API Market

分析 API 经济的发展态势，包括 API 货币化策略、API 安全挑战、GraphQL Federation 的兴起和 API 治理工具的演进。

Analysis of API economy developments including API monetization strategies, security challenges, the rise of GraphQL Federation, and the evolution of API governance tools.

API 经济的规模与增速 API 经济在2026年继续保持强劲增长。全球 API 管理市场规模预计达到120亿美元，年增长率超过25%。超过83%的网络流量现在通过 API 传输，API 已成为数字经济最核心的基础设施之一。货币化策略演进按调用计费：传统模式，适合工具型 API（如地图、翻译）基于价值计费：按 API 返回结果的商业价值计费，如金融数据 API 订阅制：提供不同 tier 的 API 访问套餐，包含调用配额和 SLA 保证收益分成：与 API 消费者共享通过 API 产生的交易收益安全挑战 API 的爆发式增长也带来了严峻的安全挑战。OWASP API Security Top 10 2026 版本新增了多个与 AI 和 LLM 相关的安全风险类别。API 网关的安全能力已从基础的认证授权扩展到实时异常检测、语义级攻击防护和供应链安全审计。 GraphQL Federation Apollo GraphQL Federation 2.0 在2026年被广泛采纳。它允许将一个大型 GraphQL Schema 拆分为多个子图（subgraph），由不同团队独立开发和部署。这种架构模式解决了传统 GraphQL 在大规模组织中 Schema 管理的痛点，成为企业级 API 架构的重要选项。

API Economy Scale and Growth The API economy continues its strong growth in 2026. The global API management market is projected to reach $12 billion with an annual growth rate exceeding 25%. Over 83% of web traffic now flows through APIs, making APIs one of the most critical infrastructure components of the digital economy. Monetization Strategy Evolution Pay-per-call: Traditional model suited for utility APIs (e.g., maps, translation) Value-based pricing: Charging based on the commercial value of API results, such as financial data APIs Subscription: Offering different-tier API access packages with call quotas and SLA guarantees Revenue sharing: Sharing transaction revenues generated through APIs with API consumers Security Challenges The explosive growth of APIs has brought serious security challenges. The OWASP API Security Top 10 2026 edition added several new security risk categories related to AI and LLMs. API gateway security capabilities have expanded from basic authentication and authorization to real-time anomaly detection, semantic-level attack protection, and supply chain security auditing. GraphQL Federation Apollo GraphQL Federation 2.0 has been widely adopted in 2026. It allows splitting a large GraphQL Schema into multiple subgraphs that different teams can independently develop and deploy. This architectural pattern addresses traditional GraphQL's schema management pain points in large organizations, becoming an important option for enterprise API architecture.
