Why Your API Needs a Deprecation Policy
from The Developer Tools Podcast with Fexingo: APIs, Infrastructure, and Software for Engineers Hosted by Fexingo
Episode 150 of The Developer Tools Podcast digs into API deprecation policies—not just technical deprecation, but the business and communication side. Lucas and Luna explore why a documented, time-boxed policy is essential for trust, using examples like Stripe's versioning approach and Twilio's deprecation timelines. They discuss who owns the policy, how to communicate changes without annoying developers, and why a clear policy actually speeds up adoption. Plus, a candid moment about how listener support keeps the show ad-free. If you build or consume APIs, this episode helps you plan the end before the beginning. #APIDeprecation #DeveloperTools #APIStrategy #BusinessAndTechnology #LucasAndLuna #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechPodcast #APILifecycle #DeveloperExperience #StripeAPI #TwilioAPI #Versioning #APIManagement #SaaS #SoftwareEngineering #ProductManagement #TechLeadership Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
