API Versioning Strategy

Evolve APIs safely

A good API versioning approach defines when to bump versions, how to signal deprecations, and how to support clients using header or path versions while keeping docs and timelines clear.

Pick a Scheme

Use path or header versions; keep stable contracts per version.

Manage Change

Mark deprecations, provide timelines, and run dual stacks briefly.

Communicate

Update docs/changelogs and send notices to clients early.
