API lifecycle management enables setting guidelines for how contributors, stakeholders, and consumers interact with an API throughout its different stages. It focuses on how teams collaborate across the planning, design, development, testing, deployment, and versioning/deprecation of an API. API lifecycle management ensures all parts of the process work together to build an API that meets its goals. The presenter demonstrated API lifecycle management using Postman.
