Agreed that it's moving down the value chain, many other open source projects out there doing similar things. There's also Tyk Open Source API Gateway (https://tyk.io) and API Umbrella (http://apiumbrella.io/), and APIAxle, though that's been around for a while now.

Also API market is intended to grow to $660 million in US by 2020 and over a billion worldwide (http://blogs.forrester.com/michael_yamnitsky/15-06-07-the_ap...). So it's definetely not small.

Is small from a VC prospective. Especially in 2015-2020. Everything under 1B is tiny. Plus, when there are soo many players you will end up fighting like crazy just the get bread crumbs.

there is no real active development on apiaxle and api umbrella is low looking at their pulse.
