API Security in DevSecOps: Built-In, Not Bolted On
summary
Claims that matter: APIs will carry >80% of web traffic by 2025, 91% of organizations see API incidents yearly, and fixing bugs is ~30× costlier in production. Concrete practices include canary deployment and API gateway schema enforcement, encrypting sensitive attributes (AES or hybrid), rate limiting, and infrastructure as code. Integrate SAST/DAST into CI/CD, use Renovate, SonarQube, Checkmarx, ggshield, HashiCorp Vault and AWS Secrets Manager, run container and image scans, and monitor with SIEMs and tracing like Jaeger or AppDynamics.
