How API Schema Evolution Causes Unnoticed Data Corruption

Episode 33 of The Developer Tools Podcast. Lucas and Luna explore how evolving API schemas silently corrupt data at scale, using the real-world example of a payments API that dropped a required field from its response schema. They discuss why backward compatibility alone isn't enough, how client-side assumptions harden, and why schema validation in CI/CD pipelines is a must. Plus, a note on why this show stays ad-free and how listener support makes it possible. #APISchemaEvolution #DataCorruption #BackwardCompatibility #SchemaValidation #CI/CD #PaymentsAPI #DeveloperExperience #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DevTools #Engineering #LucasAndLuna #SchemaChange #APIDesign #DataIntegrity #SoftwareEngineering #Fexingo Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
