#apigovernance — Public Fediverse posts

"The number of APIs has been increasing year-over-year, as they’re the infrastructure that makes the majority of modern digital architecture possible. Given that everything from AI to SaaS involves APIs at their core, it’s not the greatest shock that 78% of organizations don’t even know how many APIs they manage. A report from F5 finds that large companies manage an average of 1,400 APIs, with some having as many as 10,000. Even smaller companies can have as many as 200.

In short, barely anybody works with a single API. Managing multiple APIs is no longer optional for many enterprises — it’s simply a fact. But many organizations don’t have a unified plan for managing their APIs, leading to a disparate API portfolio with various styles and tools. Haphazard approaches and poor governance can even produce shadow APIs.

In light of this reality, we’ve put together a few tips for managing multiple APIs. We’ll cover tips on cataloging APIs, aligning on consistent security controls and governance, and more to help manage different APIs across an organization."

Hey, folks! I’m looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join my team (API Core) at #Mailchimp.

Some of the things we work on: #PHP, #REST, #OpenAPI, #OAuth2, #APIGovernance, and more.

We are stewards of our public #APIs, and we collaborate with other capabilities teams to ensure APIs are developed according to our standards and processes. You would work directly with me on a daily basis.

How do you govern a sprawling, disparate API portfolio?

"The API revolution wasn’t televised. Now, enterprises must figure out how to weave together a patchwork of API styles, standards, and gateways." -- #BillDoerrfeld

#APIDesign #APIs #APIGovernance #APIDocumentation #DX #DeveloperExperience: "Most enterprises face a widening API portfolio with an increasing number of API design styles and standards. “Almost all organizations are doing this,” says Brian Otten, VP of digital transformation catalysts at Axway. “I recently talked to a large food retailer that wants to see REST APIs alongside event-based resources and GraphQL,” Otten says.

In addition to the patchwork of API styles, most companies use multiple API gateways or management tools simultaneously. “We are at a point where organizations who already have API management solutions are buying API management solutions,” says Mark O’Neill, VP analyst at Gartner. O’Neill notes that in some cases, this is to replace the current platform, but in many situations, it’s cumulative.

In this multi-paradigm world, API governance is emerging as a key element for bridging disparate styles and avoiding the pains of a sprawling technical portfolio. According to API industry experts, governance will require a greater emphasis on documentation, centralizing common patterns across the organization, consolidating tools, and building internal platforms that improve the developer experience."

3 reasons why API governance needs internal API advocacy

"API governance aims to help people generate maximum value with APIs. But that will only work if people know what APIs are and how important they are, and also know that API governance exists and is there to help them in many ways, not police them." -- #ArnaudLauret

#introduction

I'm Arnaud. I've been working on connecting pieces of software since the end of the 20th century. I like to share what I learn while studying and working in the API space.

I started blogging about web APIs under the API Handyman nickname in 2015, talked at a few conferences about APIs (most of the time with a pop culture twist), and wrote a book about the design of web APIs.

If you want to talk about #api, #apidesign, #apigovernance, and related practices and tools, I'm in.
