VERSIONING STRATEGIES

| Strateji | Kullanim | Trade-off | |----------|----------|-----------| | URL Path (`/v1/users`) | Public REST API | Basit, ama URL kirliyor | | Header (`Accept: app/vnd.api.v2+json`) | Enterprise API | Temiz URL, karmasik client | | Query Param (`?version=2`) | Internal API | Kolay, ama cache sorunlu | | Content Negotiation | Hipermedia API | Esnek, ama zor implement | | Semantic Versioning (SDK) | Library/SDK | Industry standard |

CORE MODULES

1. Breaking Change Detector (/api-version detect <path>)

Kod degisikliklerinden breaking change'leri tespit et:

# Endpoint degisiklikleri (route tanimlarindaki degisiklikler)
git diff HEAD~1 -- '*.ts' '*.js' '*.py' '*.go' | grep -E '(router\.|app\.|@(Get|Post|Put|Delete|Patch))'

Breaking change kategorileri:

BREAKING CHANGE ANALIZI — v2.3.0 → v2.4.0:

[BREAKING] Endpoint kaldirildi:
  DELETE /api/users/:id/avatar — Bu endpoint artik yok
  ETKI: Mobile app v1.2 kullanıyor (analytics'ten)

[BREAKING] Response field adi degisti:
  GET /api/products → "price" → "unit_price"
  ETKI: Frontend + 3rd party entegrasyonlar

[BREAKING] Request body zorunlu field eklendi:
  POST /api/orders → "shipping_address" artik zorunlu
  ETKI: Mevcut client'lar 400 alacak

[NON-BREAKING] Yeni opsiyonel field eklendi:
  GET /api/users → response'a "avatar_url" eklendi
  ETKI: Yok, opsiyonel

[NON-BREAKING] Yeni endpoint eklendi:
  GET /api/users/:id/preferences — Yeni
  ETKI: Yok

2. Deprecation Manager (/api-version deprecate <endpoint>)

Sunset lifecycle yonetimi:

DEPRECATION LIFECYCLE:
  Phase 1 — ANNOUNCE (T-90 gun):
    - Deprecation header ekle: Sunset: Sat, 14 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT
    - Deprecation: true header
    - API docs'ta "deprecated" isaretle
    - Client'lara bildirim gonder

  Phase 2 — WARN (T-30 gun):
    - Warning log: her deprecated endpoint call'unu logla
    - Usage metrigi: kac client hala kullaniyor?
    - Migration guide'i tekrar gonder

  Phase 3 — THROTTLE (T-7 gun):
    - Rate limit azalt (ornek: 100 req/dk → 10 req/dk)
    - 299 Warning header ekle

  Phase 4 — SUNSET (T-0):
    - 410 Gone dondur (404 DEGIL)
    - Response body'de migration URL ver
    - 30 gun daha loglama yap (gec kalanlar icin)

3. Migration Guide Generator (/api-version migrate <v1> <v2>)

Otomatik migration dokumani olustur:

# Migration Guide: v1 → v2

## Breaking Changes

### 1. User endpoint path degisikligi
ESKI: GET /api/users/:id
YENI: GET /api/v2/users/:id

### 2. Response format degisikligi
ESKI: { "name": "kullanici", "mail": "user@example.com" }
YENI: { "name": "kullanici", "email": "user@example.com", "created_at": "..." }

MIGRATION ADIMI:
  1. Response'taki "mail" field'ini "email" olarak guncelle
  2. "created_at" field'ini handle et (yeni, ISO 8601 format)

### 3. Auth header degisikligi
ESKI: X-API-Key: xxx
YENI: Authorization: Bearer xxx

MIGRATION ADIMI:
  1. Token exchange endpoint'ini cagir: POST /api/v2/auth/exchange
  2. Yeni Bearer token al
  3. Header'i guncelle

4. Compatibility Matrix (/api-version compat)

CLIENT COMPATIBILITY MATRIX:
                    API v1    API v2    API v3
  Web App v1.0      OK        —         —
  Web App v2.0      OK        OK        —
  Mobile v1.2       OK        PARTIAL   —
  Mobile v2.0       —         OK        OK
  3rd Party SDK     OK        OK        —

RISK: API v1 kapatilirsa Web App v1.0 + Mobile v1.2 kirilir
ONERI: v1 sunset'i Mobile v2.0 force update sonrasina ertele

WORKFLOW

1. Mevcut API endpoint'larini tara (route definitions) 2. Son degisiklikleri analiz et (git diff) 3. Breaking vs non-breaking kategorize et 4. Etkilenen client'lari belirle 5. Deprecation timeline olustur 6. Migration guide yaz 7. Compatibility matrix guncelle

KURALLAR

• Additive change (yeni field, yeni endpoint) = NON-BREAKING, versiyon artirmaya gerek yok
• Field silme, rename, type degistirme = BREAKING, major versiyon gerekli
• Deprecation olmadan endpoint KALDIRILMAZ (minimum 90 gun sunset)
• 410 Gone kullan, 404 DEGIL (client farkini anlasin)
• Her breaking change icin migration guide ZORUNLU
• API versiyon stratejisi proje basinda belirlenir, ortada degistirilmez
• Response envelope degismez: `{ success, data, error, meta }` sabittir
