Azure API Management (APIM) is a cloud service that allows organizations to manage and secure APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). It provides features that enable organizations to securely expose their APIs to external developers and partners, resulting in accelerated development and collaboration while improving security and governance. Managing how different APIs communicate within environments is a critical task. It depends on various fundamental factors, including client access management, latency optimization, keeping a check on bandwidth costs, and, most importantly – creating […]
