The Flawed Logic of Universal API Governance in Large Enterprises
summary
Argues that a one-size-fits-all API policy fails because different APIs have different cost of change and use cases, so governance must be tiered rather than universal. Internal, team-only APIs get light local control; APIs exposed to thousands of consumers require a much tighter reign and slower change cadence. Cites domain-driven design and rejects a company-wide canonical data dictionary, urging governance matched to measured change cost and consumer impact.
