About the API Design, Strategy & Governance category

High-level discussions on API design, strategy, and governance. If you’re shaping API platform architecture, ecosystems or championing best practices, you’re in the right place.

Why use this category?

Use this space to:

  • Discuss API lifecycle management and governance models.
  • Share strategies for scaling and aligning APIs with business goals.
  • Collaborate on frameworks for consistency and scalability.

How is this different from other categories?

This category focuses on strategy and big-picture thinking. For tool-specific questions (e.g., GraphOS or Apollo Server), visit those dedicated categories instead.

What to post here:

  • Questions on API architectural approach and API design (how many subgraphs are best? how to handle auth? where to handle localization?)
  • Questions or insights on API governance.
  • Case studies or frameworks for managing APIs effectively.
  • Challenges or solutions related to API strategy.

Helpful tips:

  • Provide context and details to spark productive discussions.
  • Tag posts with relevant keywords (e.g., governance, architecture, strategy).
  • Be respectful and collaborative—this is a space to share and grow together!
