The API Lifecycle presents an agile process for managing the life of an API - the secret sauce to help establish quality standards for all API and microservices providers. This knowledge informs one on how to excel their API, picturing a holistic model of the API as a business and product. From conception to deprecation, this handbook outlines unique step-by-step instructions on market research, strategy, construction, promotion, and updating your API. The API lifecycle diagram is an agile process for managing the life of an API and is composed of four distinct phases: Analysis, Development, Operations, and Retirement. Our eBook expands theses concepts, grounding theories in knowledge collected during the Nordic APIs 2015 API lifecycle themed conference tour, events which brought API industry experts together to discuss different strategies throughout varying stages of the API lifecycle. We also delved deeper into these ideas within our blog, interviewing leading web API figures, and performing additional research to create a comprehensive view of the lifecycle for a commercialized web API.

*All Nordic APIs titles are available for FREE on Leanpub or direct download on Nordicapis.com/ebooks. All proceeds from the sale of our eBooks are donated to the Salvation Army in Sweden.
