Answer
Use versioning strategies. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
To manage breaking changes, implement versioning strategies like URL path or HTTP header versioning. This allows you to introduce changes without disrupting existing clients. For instance, if you need to refactor a product API response structure, you can release it under a new version while maintaining the old version for existing clients.
