Nice article which show new point of view on API versioning. Unfortunately in my career I've had always to introduce new version of API to introduce new features for my clients and I end with multiple versions of API which should be maintained.

Thanks for reading, Rafal. "Versionless" APIs are definitely becoming more popular, for good reason. Hopefully, you will get a chance to adopt this approach in the future. You may find my QConSF talk on the subject interesting. sparkpost.com/blog/microservices-b...

In green field projects I'm going to use "versionless" API but I need to maintain existing one which weren't designed to achieve this.
I'm sure that I'll look at it. Thanks for your replay.
