API Governance in an Anti Governance World
summary
Argues that lightweight, automated governance prevents costly mistakes by running OpenAPI lint rules as part of CI/CD (run on commit or build via Jenkins), using Spectral-style JSON configs and IBM's open-source linter to enforce linting-as-code and custom rules. Gives concrete wins: catches wrong security profiles, missing examples, inconsistent naming, and embarrassing path mistakes; helps a client facing 6,500 APIs prioritize dead‑wood removal and incremental fixes. Recommends near‑instant feedback to developers, rule impact analysis, and quarterly rule reviews.
