I am a direct consultant, and I'm using it in my projects to collect the APIs and to provide API management for different APIs with the upstream and downstream. Additionally, I'm using it to streamline operations where any upstream or downstream applications need to give the collective API. I use API Management as a gateway, providing authentication and authorization. When APIs are authenticated, the upstream or downstream verification is sent to our solutions.
Our primary use case for Microsoft Azure API Management is to front internal APIs and make them cloud-compatible. It adds extra authentication on top of old APIs and acts as a proxy towards internal APIs, providing a single endpoint that can manage multiple APIs behind it. This is particularly useful for large companies with numerous APIs, as it helps share and create visibility for different services.

We have several layers in our infrastructure. Some of our layers are more connector-based and interfacing with our systems of record and outsource service providers. Right now, we use Microsoft Azure API Management for that. We're now deciding what to use for the process layer, which is more orchestration and data-mapping-based.
We use the platform to configure API connectors with authentication and generate reports. We utilize it within a private cloud environment as part of our system integration services, providing these services to other users.

It is being used for Oracle databases i.e., API management. We use it on our platform for employee travel bookings and for integrating financial data with our end-user database. It is a seamless bridge between those systems. We've also built a custom TXO dashboard for our CFO and management team.
Since we built our product around APM, our clients use it directly. They find APM to be a simple and straightforward solution that fulfills all their API management needs. Our clients use APM because it's a SaaS-based solution that comes with Azure Stack-managed services, making it easy for us to use and fulfill all their use cases.

We have a couple of use cases for this product. It's fully cloud-native and can handle telco distribution for end-to-end distribution management. Five or six years ago, we made a fantastic product with microservices. I was responsible for rolling it out for a large telco in Qatar. They had no distribution or end-to-end visibility or platform. So we helped them to move to a cloud platform for their entire distribution and operation. The beauty of that product is when you look at the telco distribution standpoint your maybe five or ten thousand merchant ecosystem will be connected to that platform. It helps with generating several transactions in a minute or second. And it gives that kind of scalability in the back end. The other use case was for banking transactions. If you have your core banking platform that is legacy, if a user wants to bring in a lot of additional alternatives, they need to have some kind of a platform for enhancements. We made a cloud to bring some kind of their operations to the cloud. We made a transaction platform for them so that their merchants could access transactions.

The main uses of this solution are sharing data, internal integrations, and combining different backend services into one API proxy. In the latter case, we extract the whole complexity of the integration, and after the work is done, there's a proxy available that can be used and reused by API consumers.

My primary use case is as part of a multi-channel strategy wherein APIMs are being used with micro-products or third-party clients. Our web application firewall receives all the external and public traffic, and it re-routes to the APIM, which is on the private subnet. The APIM manages both in authentication and authorization service composition layer.

We have company-wide APIs which are hosted in Niger, and some of the external clients access the applications via the API, and we provide the post-data information. The clients get their data from our larger API.
They're doing integration work between a lot of different on-premises business platforms, like Salesforce and NetSuite. We're doing integration work, but we're putting all of our APIs into the Azure cloud and using that API manager at this time.

We use it to manage the API. We have a backend API with service in the backend. We use API Management in the front to manage the vendors. They can do their own testing. It's quicker for us to put in the specifications so we can knock off the responses. We build the specs and then get an external developer to start the development without the web service being ready. We also use it for the security and for the clock in features.

Our primary use case is for managing internal APIs, for ordering process APIs and in general process APIs, and resource manipulation APIs. We need an API management to get a better overview, and this is one use case with analytics parts. Another use case is security, being able to rotate API keys and to manage access at a signature point. Finally, we also have the developer portals with the self-service capabilities so that developers can request access to APIs through a developer portal and manage their own keys. We are still in the ramp-up phase, so currently we have actively two or three guys using it. We're planning to increase usage. We're in partnership with Microsoft and I'm an enterprise architect.

It's more of a subscription driven consumption based model, where the APIs are developed to connect backend ERP systems such as SAP and deployed into a library for consumption by both internal and external consumers. The APIs are exposed to the consumers that get onto the API gateway and identify the needed API from the library, use the instructions to subscribe, quickly test and connect to the backend SAP to get the expected information/transaction processed. Prior to this solution there was an age old EDI interface solution. This is enabling the customers to be more flexible with their integration architecture and be more agile as it reduces the IT integration dependency and provides a better user experience. This is part of Techwave application modernization strategy to bring solutions that can bring agility and flexibility to customers and be able to decouple business with huge IT dependent solutions. This is helping us to help our customers migrate away from the age old EDI technology to the latest API and microservices based architectures.
