Global – October 27, 2026 -- Akana 2026 introduces API Ops, a command-line feature that lets teams promote API products to production in a fully automated manner and plug the process into CI/CD tools such as Jenkins. Solutions engineer Olaf Van Gorp demonstrated the feature in a video for the Akana API Platform.
API Ops splits promotion duties between product and DevOps teams
The API product team typically handles export and import actions. The DevOps team reviews and approves changes, then pushes approved updates to a designated repository branch from which they can be imported.
Import process adjusts environment-specific settings
API endpoint hostnames, OAuth domains and policy configurations may need to change between source and target environments. API Ops applies these modifications during import to keep the process consistent.
