API Goldfish

API Goldfish refers to a common issue where developers create and maintain application programming interfaces (APIs) that initially function well but soon become overloaded or neglected, leading to performance problems or failure. It highlights the importance of regular updates, documentation, and support for APIs to ensure they continue to meet users' needs over time. Essentially, like a goldfish that thrives in a properly maintained environment, APIs require ongoing attention and care to remain effective and useful in software development.
