API Management

API management is the process of creating, securing, publishing, and monitoring APIs in a controlled and scalable way. It ensures that APIs are used efficiently, safely, and consistently across an organization.

This involves using an API gateway to handle requests and enforce policies, securing access through authentication methods, and providing developers with tools and documentation through a developer portal. It also includes monitoring usage, analyzing performance, and sometimes monetizing APIs.
