Full disclosure: I had early access to review parts of this book before publication.Working with APIs in a multi-team environment can be a real headache on top of the usual development lifecycle challenges.One of this book's strengths is its dual focus. While it dives into current tools and automation techniques, it also creates a solid foundation for the APIops process. This approach means you can apply the principles to whatever new tools pop up in the future.The content covers various maturity levels of API governance, making it relevant whether you're just starting out or looking to level up your existing practices. Ikenna uses examples that are practical and very close to challenges you will find in real life.Bottom line: I highly recommend this book, no matter where you are in your API governance journey. It's a valuable resource for developers, architects, and team leads alike.
