Discover REST API on Azure Spring App

Kakka, Jignesh (Ops Tech) 0

Hi Team,

I am deploying my spring boot application on Azure Spring App. This application will expose some rest APIs.

How do I expose these REST api's externall, not just limited to virtual net of Az Spring App, but via gateway

Options that i could see are

Spring Cloud Gateway
Azure Application Gateway
Not sure if Spring app can be integrated with Azure APIM

Could some one suggest what should be preferred way?

Hello Kakka

Spring Cloud Gateway If you are using Azure Spring Apps Enterprise Tier, we do support VMWare Spring Cloud gateway. For more details please refer to:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/spring-apps/how-to-configure-enterprise-spring-cloud-gateway?tabs=Azure-portal If you are using Standard Tier, you may also build your own Spring cloud gateway in Azure Spring Cloud https://spring.io/guides/gs/gateway/

Azure Application Gateway Please refer to: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/spring-apps/expose-apps-gateway-tls-termination?tabs=azure-cli

Not sure if Spring app can be integrated with Azure APIM You can put Azure APIM in front of Azure Spring Apps like this:

Hanli Ren Thank you for providing the answer.

Kakka, Jignesh (Ops Tech) Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft Q&A. It depends on your specific requirements; features you need and here are few suggestions:

#1 For advanced features such as SSO, access control, and rate-limiting, then Spring Cloud Gateway would be a good option.

#2 For basic load balancing and routing, then Azure Application Gateway would be a good option.
#3 If you need to manage and publish your APIs, then Azure API Management would be a good option.

We don't have direct import feature available in APIM for Spring Apps (like Functions, Logic Apps, App Service) but you can follow the guide above to add API manually or Import an OpenAPI specification via portal, CLI or PowerShell.

I hope this helps with your question and feel free to add a comment for any other questions.
