This skill helps teams plan, design, and manage API versioning strategies to evolve contracts safely without breaking existing clients.

API versioning strategies include URI path versioning for clear separate endpoints and header-based versioning to respect content negotiation. Both approaches support backward compatibility and allow gradual contract evolution without breaking existing clients.
To implement a deprecation timeline, configure your gateway to expose both current and deprecated endpoints simultaneously. Establish clear breaking-change workflows and communicate deprecation schedules to clients, allowing gradual migration and backward compatibility across your services.
URI path versioning provides clear, separate endpoints per version for straightforward routing, while header-based versioning respects content negotiation and offers client flexibility. Your choice depends on whether you prioritize explicit endpoint separation or transparent contract evolution.
You can coordinate multi-version API deployments through gateway integration. By configuring the gateway to expose multiple endpoints like v1 and v2, you manage routing, enforce backward compatibility, and execute deprecation schedules across distributed services.
You need a new API version when implementing breaking changes that cannot be resolved through backward-compatible patterns. Introduce a new version alongside the old one, then use deprecation workflows and timelines to gradually migrate clients safely.
API versioning works with Elixir services by applying URI path or header-based versioning strategies. It supports multi-version endpoints, backward compatibility patterns, and gateway integration to coordinate deployments and manage contract evolution safely.
