API Gateway
Azure API Management is a full-lifecycle platform for publishing, securing, transforming, and analyzing APIs across cloud and on-premises backends. It provides a developer portal, policy-based control over traffic and security, and detailed analytics for API usage. Its rich policy engine and hybrid gateway support make it well suited to governing large enterprise API estates.
