What is Runtime API Governance?
API governance establishes the policies, processes, and controls needed to ensure your APIs are developed, maintained, and utilized effectively and securely. By managing access, enforcing standards, ensuring proper documentation, and continuously monitoring performance, API governance protects data and ensures consistent API operations across your organization.
A common misconception is that API Governance is solely about API design concerns.

Runtime API governance, in comparison, extends these principles to the operational phase, enforcing policies for API deployment, security, observability, and lifecycle management. It ensures that APIs are deployed in a secure and traceable manner, with version-controlled configurations and standardized change management.
Why Runtime API Governance Matters
Runtime API governance is crucial for maintaining consistency, compliance, and security throughout the lifecycle of your entire API ecosystem. It helps mitigate risks of misconfiguration and security breaches by consistently applying policies. Effective governance enhances collaboration among development teams and improves the overall user experience.
