APIs Deserve Version Control: The Git-Native Design Approach

Git-native API design shifts the contract from a cloud vendor's database to a version-controlled text file in your repository, enabling full Git workflows—history, blame, rollback, and review—for API evolution. This eliminates vendor lock-in and prevents API specs from drifting away from implementation. By treating API contracts as source code, teams gain complete visibility into when, why, and by whom design decisions were made.
