API Input Validation Strategy

Decide how strictly every API must validate what it accepts — and fund it.

What you'll learn

• Measure API validation honestly — request-schema enforcement, unknown-field rejection, response filtering and strictly validated traffic — and contain a known exposure without breaking consumers.
• Write enforceable contracts and standards for requests, responses and change, and place each check at the gateway, the mesh or the service from a single source.
• Roll out enforcement from monitor to block within a break budget, bring partners and internal consumers along, and verify the control every night with evidence audit can sample.
• Price a validation policy at the margin, set appetite and accept residuals explicitly, and win a Board resolution that internal audit and the regulator can test.
