Hello
I have been evolving an API that supports a variety of client applications & as new features roll out; managing API versioning has become a critical challenge.
Ensuring backward compatibility while introducing breaking changes requires careful planning & I have encountered issues with deprecated endpoints, inconsistent error responses & version negotiation that can confuse client developers. Checked Versioning | SwaggerHub Documentation Rails course guide for reference .
The complexity increases when multiple versions need to be supported simultaneously, forcing us to maintain legacy code & design new endpoints that align with modern best practices.
Iām particularly interested in discussing strategies for managing versioning in a way that minimizes disruption, such as implementing clear deprecation policies, using robust versioning frameworks, and ensuring consistent error handling across versions.
Iād love to hear from the community about successful approaches, tools, or frameworks that have streamlined your API versioning process. Insights on integrating versioning into your CI/CD pipelines or automating backward compatibility tests would be especially valuable.
Thank you !!
