# API Deprecation

The process of phasing out an API (Application Programming Interface), often involving a period where the API is still functional but with warnings, before eventual removal.

## Business Value

Reduces infrastructure complexity for api deprecation by up to 70%, enabling faster deployment and lower maintenance costs.

## Context Studios Perspective

We implement api deprecation with production-hardened patterns that our clients run at scale across multiple regions and compliance boundaries.
