The False Economy of Speed: [...]
summary
Claim: omitting API governance produces AI‑side technical debt that snowballs into emergent agent failures. Specifics: agent API traffic is projected to grow 30x, WIP coding can amplify debt by about 10x, and surveys show 60% of CIOs report growing tech debt while 97% don’t address it. Practical controls: treat APIs as products, enforce federated policy and an API catalog, use zero‑trust, least privilege and short‑lived tokens, versioning, SLAs and baked‑in policy enforcement to sustain long‑term velocity.
