Api consolidation recommendations to improve web application qoe

An apparatus, comprising:

• one or more network interfaces;
• a processor coupled to the one or more network interfaces and configured to execute one or more processes;
• and
• a memory configured to store a process that is executable by the processor, the process when executed configured to:
• obtain trace data indicative of application programming interface calls made during sessions between clients and an application accessible via a network;
• identify, based on the trace data, a set of calls among the application programming interface calls that are frequently co-occurring;
• quantify a latency savings expected to occur were the set of calls to be consolidated into a singular call instead of being made separately;
• and
• provide, to a user interface, a recommendation to consolidate the set of calls into a consolidated call that indicates the latency savings.

A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing program instructions that cause a device to execute a process comprising:

• obtaining, by the device, trace data indicative of application programming interface calls made during sessions between clients and an application accessible via a network;
• identifying, by the device and based on the trace data, a set of calls among the application programming interface calls that are frequently co-occurring;
• quantifying, by the device, a latency savings expected to occur were the set of calls to be consolidated into a singular call instead of being made separately;
• and
• providing, by the device and to a user interface, a recommendation to consolidate the set of calls into a consolidated call that indicates the latency savings.
