Evolving your APIs, a step-by-step approach

on YouTube ↗35m

" summary

Shows how to evolve an HTTP API without breaking users by wiring an Apache APISIX gateway via Docker Compose, creating routes and upstream objects, and attaching plugins for Prometheus, proxy rewrites and rate limiting. Demonstrates mirroring production traffic (proxy-mirror) to validate V2, running a 50/50 canary with the traffic-split plugin, and signaling clients with an RFC-style Deprecation header and sunset link; demos run and expose issues to fix.
