API Product Governance: Shaken, not stirred

Most organizations don’t set out to gamble with their APIs. But without a straightforward method, governance often ends up shaken by chance:

• APIs built without a clear product strategy
• Consumers left out of the design process
• Inconsistent standards, patchy delivery, and missing documentation
• APIs that can’t scale when AI or MCP start driving demand

This is what we mean by “shaken.”

The alternative is “stirred” — systematic, intentional, and business-aligned. With APIOps Cycles, you can:

• Treat APIs as real products tied to strategy and measurable value
• Align design and delivery with consumers and customer journeys
• Standardize architecture to scale reliably across teams and sectors
• Build APIs ready for AI integration and Model Context Protocol (MCP)

We’ll be sharing these insights and more at:

• APIdays London (Sep 22–24) — where you’ll find us presenting and in conversations about scaling APIs for finance, retail, and the public sector. We have limited free VIP invitations with this link: ​https://ticket.apidays.global/event/apidays-london-2025/72d72730-dbf4-47d0-aa07-aa9da87d28ca/cart?coupon=OSAANGOVIP100PPP307​( Select the first available ticket, click “Continue,” and complete the registration.)​​
• APIOps Community Meetup in Munich and other cities in Germany, Sep 10-18, with codecentric AG, where practitioners gather to exchange experiences and explore practical ways to apply APIOps Cycles. Register here:https://apiops.info/profile/meetups​

I'll see you soon, somewhere :) How do you like your API governance: shaken or stirred?
