4. API Lifecycle Management
What is API lifecycle management?
● API lifecycle management enables you to formulate a set of guidelines on how the contributors, stakeholders, and
consumers of an API can interact with the API and gain greater clarity across the different stages of the API lifecycle.

API lifecycle management is not focused solely on the API itself, it is also about how the different teams work together across
the API lifecycle to build an effective API.
