Automated Processes for Even Better APIs
summary
Defines API Ops as applying DevOps/CALMS plus GitOps to APIs and claims a target like 60% of processes automated. Shows converting OpenAPI (with x-extensions) into gateway configuration as code, automating publishing, management and observability, and using policy as code (Open Policy Agent) to enforce compliance. Demonstrates a reproducible pipeline where changes are observable in Git, policies validate deployments, and the automated flow shortens release steps and reduces manual handoffs.
