Abstract

Cloud-native API management has turn out as a crucial solution for enterprise development from traditional in-house API gateway to scalable cloud-based architectures. This research paper examines the migration of traditional API gateways to Azure API Management (APIM), Highlighting its advantages in terms of scalability, security, and operational efficiency.
