What is Azure API Management?

Azure API Management is a multi-cloud, hybrid management platform for APIs in all environments. API Management, as a platform-as-a-service, supports the complete API lifecycle.

ISmile Technologies Providing Services in Azure API Management

Azure API Management has fully-managed serverless and dedicated tiers depending on the use case. They have tiers that we can choose by the consumption of the APIs. We can split it into the Consumption tier and the Developer/ Basic/ Standard/ Premium tier.

Consumption tier

In the Consumption tier, Built-in auto-scaling is down to zero, and the consumption-based micro billing is. They don’t have reserved capacity for this tier, and It’s a shared management plan. The consumption tier has a curated set of features and usage limits.

Developer | Basic | Standard | Premium tier

In this tier, we gave manual scaling or external auto-scaling. This is billing based on reserved capacity. This tier has a constant and predictable monthly cost. This tier has a reserved capacity; we have dedicated management, user, and data planes. We keep the APIM set always on, and it has a complete set of features that are not governed.

API lifecycle

The five stages of an API lifecycle must be considered for API design. These phases are:

  1. Plan and Design
  2. Develop
  3. Test
  4. Deploy
  5. Retire
