Hello,
I have a question regarding the best practices for applying API versioning in Apigee. From the examples I've seen, versioning is typically applied to the proxy base URL. However, this approach seems to require creating new proxies when a version change is needed. This means I'd need to maintain both the old and new versions until the older version is deprecated, which could lead to additional management overhead.
Alternatively, if I choose to apply versioning to specific endpoints (e.g., by using path suffixes for individual endpoints), is this approach considered acceptable, or would it be viewed as an anti-pattern? Specifically, I’m interested in applying versioning at the endpoint level, especially when those endpoints are developed as flows (path suffixes) within the same proxy, rather than creating separate proxies for each version.
What are the pros and cons of both approaches? Are there any potential drawbacks or considerations I should be aware of, particularly with the path suffix versioning strategy?
