From API Intelligence to API Governance [...]
summary
Analysis of ~1 billion requests across ~15,000 APIs and ~500,000 endpoints shows 85% lack rate limits, 52% accept unauthenticated calls, and only ~70% use versioning; performance splits with ~50% of endpoints under 150 ms and ~20% over 500 ms, while zombie endpoints rise 11% and HTTPS adoption sits at ~45%. Recommended tactics: add X-RateLimit header to one API now, document your versioning approach, tag slow endpoints and set alerts, run quick auth/HTTPS audits, then bake checks into CI/CD and automate governance within 10 weeks.
