Azure API Management, perfect tool for API Management and Security
Rating: 10 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
Actually most of the work in Projects these days are managed via the use of APIs. However the security and management of APIs is a key aspect which is being done through Azure API Management or shortly APIM. Mostly it is used across the organizational levels. Through Azure API Management, we have mostly integrated different kinds of APIs right from Agricultural based APIs to Banking and Finance data APIs.
Pros
- Management of APIs
- Security of the API through Azure AD, AD B2C etc.
- Providing an outer layer through APIs
Cons
- The rate-limit-by-key policy need to be properly adjusted to maximize the benefits
Likelihood to Recommend
Wherever we want to maintain the security of the API and the ingredient data is very confidential, we must use this service. Also, if we would like to manage a large number of API at one go, we must use it. However, for few general APIs, we can avoid the Azure API Management use due to the overall cost strategy.
