Deployment Is Automated

Require that every API be deployed through an automated, repeatable pipeline rather than by hand. I want the path from a merged change to a running endpoint to be codified, versioned, and reproducible on demand. Manual deployments drift, hide tribal knowledge, and turn routine releases into risky events. Automating deployment gives us consistent environments, faster recovery, and a clear audit trail for how each API reached production, which is why I hold it as a baseline expectation for teams shipping APIs.
