Top three technical risks when becoming a platform and API mitigations
Tests platform architecture and API governance maturity. A strong answer cites backward compatibility, multi-tenant security, and domain leakage; it proposes versioning, OAuth with rate limits, and facade APIs.
Tests whether a senior engineer recognizes that platform transitions are architectural and cultural, not just technical. A strong answer identifies three risks: backward compatibility breaking external consumers, multi-tenant security and abuse, and internal domain model leakage. It mitigates these with URI versioning and deprecation policies, OAuth 2.0 with gateway rate limiting, and domain-driven facade APIs designed before code via OpenAPI contracts.
