A reading guide for Azure API Management Tips

In the Azure API Management section of Serverless Tips, you will find various tips around API Management. These tips are excerpts from the Microsoft documentation, including concise screenshots or diagrams, and additional notes and links. These tips intend to get you on your way to choose the correct tier for your API Management instance and design and build robust APIs – which we call API definitions. An API definition is a way of creating an API in API Management as a gateway into your back-end service (Logic App, API hosted in an APP service, Web Service).

You will find tips on how to design and create APIs:

• Create an API (definition)
• Adding operations to an API (definition)
• Versioning of API (definitions)
• Securing API access with Subscription Keys
• Adding Policies to API Operations
• Tracing and debugging API operations
• Divide APIs into Products
• Managing secrets and common values
• Add error handling in API policies
• Transformations in APIs
• Deploying API (definitions) to other API Management Instances

Furthermore, you will find tips more specific for an API Management instance:

• Provision the right API Management Instance
• What is the value of API Management in my integration solutions
• Monitoring options for an Azure API Management Instance
• API Management PowerShell and REST APIs

Hopefully, the tips will be a good starting point for you when including Azure API Management into cloud solutions. The number of tips will grow in the next couple of months.
