Azure API Management is awesome. It's a great way to publish API's to the outside world and have it act as a one-stop shop to address security concerns, handle caching, rate limiting, transformation and aggregation of requests and responses, monitoring, and so on. But, how do you actually administer API Management itself? In this 'talk from the trenches', we'll be discussing some of the lessons that I learned when building an API ecosystem from scratch using Azure API Management. We'll focus on the challenge of implementing a controlled process for the promotion of API's through the different stages from development to production, and how to handle evolution of those API's over time. In other words: how to do proper DevOps and CI/CD with API Management. After this session, getting started with API Management will not be quite as intimidating anymore.
