Modules in this learning path

Explore API Management

Learn how the API Management service functions, how to transform and secure APIs, and how to create a backend API.

Publish and manage your APIs with Azure API Management

Use API management to control who uses your APIs, to enforce usage policies, and to present a professional front-end to developers using the API.

Improve the performance of an API by adding a caching policy in Azure API Management

API Management policies are configurable modules that you can add to APIs to change their behaviors. Policies can do things like cache responses, transform documents and values, call webhooks for notification or audit purposes, and retry requests after transient failures. This module shows how to use policies to enable caching in order to improve API performance under load.

Protect your APIs on Azure API Management

Protect your backend APIs from information exposure and implement throttling (rate limiting) to prevent resource exhaustion with policies in Azure API Management.

Control access to your APIs with Azure API Management

Discover how to protect your APIs from unauthorized use with API keys and client certificate authentication.

Expose multiple Azure Function apps as a consistent API by using Azure API Management

Combine multiple Azure Functions apps into a unified interface by importing them into a single Azure API Management instance.
