Lessons from the API Management Trenches
summary
Shows how to use Azure API Management as a practical gateway for on-premise services by deploying an on-premise connector, applying transformations and rate limiting, and returning mock responses during backend migration. Covers developer self-service via products/subscriptions/groups, secret storage with Azure Key Vault, caching policies (examples use five-minute caches) to reduce backend calls, revision/version pipelines with a CI/CD template, and demonstrates a Vodafone-style webshop integration plus a working developer portal.
