Azure API Management

Overview

Azure API Management (APIM) is a fully managed service that enables you to publish, manage, and secure your APIs. It provides features like traffic management, security, analytics, and developer portals.

APIM allows you to expose your APIs to internal and external developers, and provides a single point of control for managing their usage and security.

Key Features

• Traffic Management: Control API traffic, manage quotas, and implement rate limiting.
• Security: Integrate with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) for authentication and authorization, and use API keys for external access.
• Analytics: Monitor API usage, identify trends, and troubleshoot performance issues.
• Developer Portal: Provide a self-service portal for developers to discover, test, and consume your APIs.

Getting Started

To get started with Azure API Management, you can:

1. Create an Azure API Management instance.
2. Import your APIs into APIM.
3. Configure security and traffic management policies.
4. Publish your APIs to the developer portal.
