Azure API Management
Azure API Management enables organizations to publish, secure, transform, and monitor APIs at scale. · Azure · APIs & integration
Overview
Azure API Management provides a centralized platform for managing, securing, and monitoring APIs. The Consumption tier includes 1 million free API operations per month and can be used in production, unlike the separate paid Developer tier.
Good fit
Use when you need to centralize, secure, and monitor APIs and stay under 1 million calls per month, including production use.
- api management evaluation
- low-to-medium traffic production APIs
- testing api gateways
Not a fit
Avoid if you expect high-volume traffic beyond 1 million calls/month without budgeting for overage billing.
- need large-scale throughput
- need advanced enterprise features like isolated networking
