API governance

API Governance refers to the set of rules and practices that organizations use to manage and control their application programming interfaces (APIs). APIs allow different software systems to communicate with each other. Proper governance ensures that APIs are secure, consistent, and easy to use, which helps maintain quality and reliability. It involves defining standards for API design, documentation, and usage, as well as monitoring compliance and performance. By establishing effective governance, organizations can enhance collaboration, reduce risks, and ensure that their APIs support business goals efficiently.
