API Reliability & Contract Governance
Unify API quality via contract testing, async/event validation, schema drift detection, and backward compatibility checks.
Learning Objectives
- Protect consumer contracts during API evolution
- Validate event-driven API reliability
- Detect and communicate schema drift early
Prerequisites
- OpenAPI/GraphQL familiarity
