API Governance
Brajesh De · Apress eBooks · 2023
API governance provides a policy-driven approach that defines and enforces standards and checkpoints throughout the API lifecycle. It encompasses not only the API runtime but also design through development processes. It includes the guidelines, standards, and processes for API identification, interface documentation, development, testing, deployment, running, and operation. Standards and principles defined by API governance provide API quality assurance, such as security, availability, scalability, and reliability. It ensures that the APIs are standardized, reliable, and secure, which is critical for successful adoption.
