APIM Adoption in 4 weeks

What Challenges are we addressing? As part of the centralized Azure API Management (APIM) solution, the developers and business partners can focus on product development instead of reinventing their APIs' security, caching, and rate-limiting features. This approach will minimize APIM development costs while maximizing the value and efficiency of resources utilized across business-critical operations.

How do we address it?

• Infrastructure as code: It simplifies the management of all API endpoints through policy, Infrastructure as Code, and tokenization methods for authentication and authorization, while providing a single-entry point for all API access.
• Automation with Azure DevOps: Integrates Pipelines as Code with APIM Gateways, API Operations, Global Policies, and API Specific Policies to automate provisioning across multiple environments.
• Observability/Monitoring: It provides centralized observability, making it easy to integrate API requests, events, and live metrics with existing monitoring solutions including Azure Monitor and Application Insights.

Below are key activities that will be implemented by the Paradigm Team –

• Intake – Gather Requirements, Discover, Solution Approach
• Deliver – Design, Build, Configuration
• Operationalize – Pipelines, Deployment
• Scale – Monitoring, Knowledge Transfer

Deliverables –

• A centralized API management system
• Infrastructure as a code deployment
• Documentation on governance and maintenance
• Automation with DevOps
• Model API’s implemented with Industry Security Standards
• API Monitoring and Observability

What is the outcome?

• Blueprints to onboard APIs
• Enterprise Standard Security
• Analysis of usage patterns
• Business Value Generation
