When does API governance actually make sense? I wrote up a brain dump of real scenarios — like managing a massive catalog, meeting regulations, avoiding drift, curbing AI chaos, and others. Up now on @nordicapis. https://t.co/YFV2i10uFX
The microservices versus monolith debate is timeless — but lately, I’ve noticed fewer hardline stances and more of a pragmatic "honestly, it depends." Case in point: https://t.co/VaWX1LMjGP
