API Governance

API governance refers to the process of establishing and overseeing decision-making, policies, practices, processes, and relationships to enable an organisation to achieve its goals when using private, partner, and public APIs. API Governance aims to align APIs with business and IT strategies, to monitor and maximise the value created from them while identifying and addressing risks and ensuring compliance with regulations.

"API governance is enabling and facilitating people to work together on the right APIs, the right way, to maximise the value created by APIs in alignment with the organization’s goals and constraints."

From Arnaud Lauret: https://apihandyman.io/attempting-to-define-api-governance/

In an open ecosystem, standards and consistent design practices allow stakeholders to collaborate, co-create, coordinate, compete and/or complement each other when building new products, services, and workflows. API governance systems include the policies and processes that make it easier for API providers to introduce standards and consistent design practices.
