The fairy tales about API deployments
summary
Claims that any vendor offers true full lifecycle API management are false; no one tool covers design, linting, testing, bundling and deployment. API-first practice uses OpenAPI/AsyncAPI with openapi x-extensions to encode gateway/portal config and requires a CI/CD pipeline that will bundle API definition (to resolve $ref), run Spectral + Redocly CLI for lint/validation, spin a Prism mock server and generate a Postman collection for contract/content/variation tests, then deploy the bundled definition and collection to gateway/portal/registry.
