Apigee governance + secure proxy patterns

The challenge

Multiple teams were building APIs with inconsistent patterns, increasing risk during reviews and releases.
A transition from legacy APIM approaches to Apigee required repeatable standards and secure defaults.

The approach

• Reusable proxy templates: consistent policies, logging, and error handling.
• Security-by-default: OAuth/JWT patterns, threat protection, and standards.
• Environment strategy: org/env topology, promotion rules, and release gates.
• Migration enablement: map legacy APIM behaviors to Apigee equivalents.

Results

• Safer launches with fewer policy regressions through standardization.
• Faster delivery by giving teams proven templates and clear guardrails.
• Lower operational risk through consistent promotion and rollout practices.
