The text discusses the challenges of API sprawl, a growing issue in large software development environments characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of APIs, which leads to scalability problems, security risks, and operational inefficiencies. The proliferation of APIs often results from decentralized development practices, lack of unified API management policies, and insufficient integration between tools, creating a fragmented and hard-to-manage infrastructure. Traditional API management tools fail to address the root causes of API sprawl, as they often rely on outdated manual inputs and are disconnected from developers' workflows. The text proposes a Git-native approach using tools like Blackbird to automate API discovery and management, integrating it directly into existing developer workflows through GitHub. This method enhances real-time synchronization, reduces duplication, and improves developer onboarding by embedding API visibility into the continuous development cycle. By aligning API management with where developers work, organizations can mitigate risks, streamline operations, and maintain a scalable API infrastructure.
