The 7 commandments for a successful API Program

on YouTube ↗32m

" summary

Reported industry data shows only 20% of firms realize full digital transformation and just 34% claim high API maturity. The team builds an API scaffolding engine that ingests an API blueprint and generates a Git repo, CI/CD pipeline, API proxy configs and publishes docs to the developer portal, plus separate API gateways for public/internal and dev/prod. A domain-driven, federated decentralized governance model plus automated security and testing reduces API sprawl, cuts delivery time and raises developer adoption and program maturity.
