To assess API impact, you need to map all direct and transitive consumers of the changed interface. This process classifies impact severity as Breaking, Behavioural, Additive, or None, and estimates the migration effort required for affected services.

Integration impact analysis is the process of evaluating how changes to shared interfaces affect downstream systems. It identifies affected consumers, gauges the severity of the change, and calculates the effort needed to migrate those consumers safely.

You estimate migration effort by first mapping all consumers of the modified API or event. Once consumers are identified, the impact severity is classified for each service, which directly informs the estimated migration effort required.

Yes, you need access to integration registries and dependency maps to analyze service deprecation impact comprehensively. These resources provide the necessary visibility to map transitive consumers and accurately classify the downstream effects of a change.

Yes, you can classify the severity of interface changes into categories including Breaking, Behavioural, Additive, and None. This classification helps prioritize migration tasks by distinguishing changes that cause failures from those that are backward compatible.
