Traditional API management systems are often inefficient and lead to human errors and inconsistencies as the number of APIs grows. The article discusses how moving to an APIOps model based on Infrastructure as Code transitioned the organization from manual configurations to automated, code-defined API deployments. By centralizing interactions around API specifications and maintaining them in Git, operational risks were minimized, onboarding was expedited, and governance was strengthened. The transition emphasizes the necessity of code governance and automated validation for effective API management and compliance.
Traditional UI-driven API management portals often result in inconsistent policies and increased operational risks due to human error, limiting scaling effectiveness.
Transitioning to an APIOps approach underpinned by Infrastructure as Code allows for fully automated API deployments, ensuring standardized and repeatable delivery pipelines.
By interacting solely with API specifications and version-controlled infrastructure definitions, we eliminated the need for manual manipulation in the API management portal.
A successful APIOps model requires a strong foundation of governance, automated validation processes, and a defined platform ownership structure to support development teams.
