Azure API Management – A maturity model for successful adoption.

on YouTube ↗53m

" summary

A practical maturity model lays out six phases — define, plan, deploy, measure/control, improve, optimize/automate — and pairs them with a hands‑on Azure API Management workshop available at aka.ms apim lab. Demonstrations use Azure API Management (deployment ~40–45 minutes), three sample APIs (Star Wars, calculator, colors), policies written in XML to add caching (10s), find‑and‑replace and mocking, product rate‑limits (example: 5 calls per minute), observability via Application Insights/EventHub, and a self-hosted gateway for containers plus DevOps tooling for infra as code.
