How do you manage large-scale API versioning?

Senior NodeJS
Quick Answer Large-scale API versioning: URL prefix (/v1/, /v2/), header-based versioning (API-Version: 2), deprecation headers with sunset dates, automated versioning tools, keeping old versions alive behind feature flags, and a clear deprecation policy (announce รขโ€ โ€™ warn รขโ€ โ€™ sunset รขโ€ โ€™ remove). Document each version's lifecycle in your API changelog.

Answer

Use URI, header, or content negotiation versioning. Maintain separate controllers and implement deprecation workflows.
