Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for enabling compatibility between multiple versions of an application programming interface (API) are described. When a first API request is received at a compute server, the compute server determines whether the first API request is of a first version of an API that is different from a second version of the API used in an origin server to which the first API request is destined. In response to determining that the first API request is of the first version of the API that is different from the second version of the API used in the origin server to which the first API request is destined, an API compatibility enabler is executed to convert the first API request into a second API request in the second version of the API. The second API request is fulfilled instead of the first API request.
