Platform Engineering Team/API Value Stream

Mission / Objective
Responsible API governance, development frameworks and guidance

API Platform Value Stream Demo
On a regular cadence, the Api Platform Value Stream team will post demos of our developments/works in progress here to provide transparency and gather feedback.

Vision
For API producers and consumers, internal and external to Wikimedia, who need to create, manage, discover, and use APIs, the API Platform is a set of tools, processes, and best practices that empowers APIs as a method for creating and sharing free knowledge.

Different from existing APIs, our product breaks down barriers to entry for consumption and contribution to Wikimedia APIs

Work Intake Process
For significant projects, you can follow Platform Engineering teams how to work with us process.

For work related to bugs, features or support on Platform API Products and Services, you can contact API Product Manager Virginia Poundstone directly or create a task on our Phabricator board, tagged with #api_platform assigned to vpoundstone(Virginia Poundstone). The team meets throughout the week and triages on a rolling basis.
