Azure API Management is a fully managed service by Microsoft Azure that allows organizations to publish, secure, monitor, and analyze APIs in one central place. It acts as a gateway between your backend services and the consumers of your APIs.

In today’s digital economy, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) power everything—from mobile applications and e-commerce platforms to enterprise integrations and IoT solutions. However, managing APIs at scale comes with challenges such as security, monitoring, versioning, and developer adoption.
