Real-Time Compliance Enforcement in Regulated API Ecosystems via Self-Healing DevOps Pipelines

Abstract

In the recent advanced technological era, there is a self-healing DevOps pipeline, especially in highly regulated sectors like banking or clinical sectors. This research looks at how Regulated API ecosystems can ensure real-time compliance with the help of self-healing DevOps pipelines. As the regulations of GDPR and HIPAA apply to finance and healthcare make these sectors important, these areas must be closely watched and weaknesses addressed as soon as possible. This discusses how tools like Open Policy Agent (OPA), HashiCorp Sentinel, and machine learning can be added to CI/CD processes by analysing literature and studying related cases. The use of policy-as-code and self-healing functions has been shown to improve compliance automation and lessen the work needed for audits. Researchers offer ways to automate processes for better security and resilience during API development, addressing today's shortcomings in those traits.
