About this module

There are many ways that architects contribute to API operations at scale across teams. However, there are some essential ways enterprise organizations are starting to build their API governance programs. API governance begins with standardizing how APIs are being built, helping enable teams as they are designing, developing, and delivering new API features.

This 90-minute workshop will equip API Architects with a more robust toolbox for managing APIs at scale, allowing them to create and maintain efficient, high-quality API ecosystems in their organizations. Architects will walk away from this course with actionable approaches to jumpstarting API governance at scale.

In this module, you will learn how to:

  • Develop a connection between OpenAPI contracts and API governance
  • Learn how Spectral rules can be used to encourage good API design
  • Establish an understanding of how linting rules can be enforced using a CI/CD pipeline
  • Gain an understanding of how governance can be reported upon across teams

Prerequisites:

  • Basic understanding of HTTP
  • Basic understanding of REST APIs

Module90 mins
