The Developer Tools Podcast with Fexingo · 2026-07-29 · 7 min
In this episode, we explore Stripe's pragmatic approach to API versioning: date-based headers like '2020-08-27'. Learn why they avoid traditional URL or number-based versioning, how they manage breaking changes without major version bumps, and what lessons developers building APIs today can take away. We discuss the trade-offs, the cost of versioning decisions, and how to plan for migration from day one. #APIVersioning #Stripe #DeveloperTools #APIDesign #VersioningStrategy #DateBasedVersioning #BackwardsCompatibility #BreakingChanges #DeveloperExperience #APIBestPractices #TechStrategy #SoftwareEngineering #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #APIHeaders #VersionMigration Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
