What is API Governance?
API governance ensures that APIs are developed, deployed, and managed in a systematic and controlled manner, acting as the rulebook for your APIs throughout their lifecycle. It’s also about governing the consumption and access to APIs for consumers. An API governance framework ensures that access is regulated, security is maintained, and compliance standards are upheld, all while facilitating seamless integration and collaboration. This gets at the challenge of balancing centralized policy enforcement with globally distributed, agile teams. A universal or federated API approach can help strike this balance by providing a single pane of glass for management, reducing risk, and streamlining processes without disrupting existing development centers. Furthermore, consolidating APIs across platforms, gateways, and repositories under a unified governance framework allows for common reporting and automation, reducing manual processes and enhancing efficiency across the board.
