Azure for Developers: API Management

Course details

As digital experiences and applications become more and more dependent on APIs, organizing and managing APIs is more important than ever—and more complicated. In this course, learn how to use Azure API Management (APIM) to organize your APIs. Microsoft MVP Hansamali Gamage details the features that can help you secure, monitor, and document all of your operations. Hansamali shows how to integrate existing Azure App services and Function App to API Management, how to access API endpoints in the developer portal with subscriptions and how to manage versions without disturbing ongoing businesses. She details the policies to authenticate APIs, cache the response, and reduce the application load by throttling. Hansamali also shows how to troubleshoot the APIs and identify performance implications with Azure application insights.
