  1. How Does Microsoft Azure API Management Compare With Amazon API Gateway? SUMMARY: You have probably heard about Azure API Management and Amazon API Gateway and how they can change your business operations. It is important to consider the differences and similarities that make their operations different. Microsoft Azure API Management and Amazon API Gateway are the two most trusted API options available. However, the two differ in their classification, optimization, and flexibility. Developers can use one while the other serves developers adequately. To understand the functionality of APIM and Amazon API Gateway, take a look at the comparison to know which one works better. What is Microsoft Azure APIM? Microsoft Azure API Management ensures that API programs reach their full potential in an organization. With APIM, organizations can publish web services as APIs securely and reliably. API management drives API consumption among partners, internal teams, and developers while gaining from the business and operational insights provided by the admin portal. Text Pros of APIM  Easy to set up initially  Overall high performance  Easy to configure, use, and also flexible  Azure API management platforms are easy to integrate while being stable and scalable. Cons of APIM  The interface may still need improvements  Simple configurations mean that there is less flexibility, especially for larger enterprises.  Governing service-to-service communications and priorities is complicated. Amazon API Gateway

  2. Amazon API Gateway is a fully-managed service that makes it easy for developers to create, publish, maintain, and monitor APIs at undefined scales. Developers can create APIs within a few minutes in the AWS management console. These APIs act as throughways for applications to access business logic, data, or functionality from back- end services. Pros of Amazon API Gateway  Easy to integrate and support existing AWS services  Easy to configure with API-based applications  It offers logical continuity because the Amazon stack can easily be used with other Amazon services.  Simplified authentication and authorization which makes it a great security solution Cons of Amazon API Gateway  It would have been better with a complete development environment for developers.  The user interface could be somewhat improved with extra customer support. Comparison VPN Connection Only Premium Tier users can connect VPNs to Azure API management for securing back- end services. Unlike APIM, you cannot connect a VPN directly through API Gateway. However, you can only add the Lambda function in a VPC and connect the VPN for Lambda to work as a proxy. Active Directory Integration When an on-premises active directory domain is synchronized to Azure, the API endpoint access can be customized to use the active directory to provide similar sign-on capabilities. On the other hand, leveraging integration between Amazon Cognito and API Gateway provides access to various API users and resources based on a particular identity provided. Multi-region deployment The APIM can be deployed to many locations when using the premium tier. Unfortunately, API Gateway does not support multi-region redundancy. API Monetization

  3. Microsoft Azure has a team that trains users to monetize their API with API management. On the other hand, Amazon API Gateway integrates with the AWS marketplace to facilitate monetization and meter usage for API products without writing a code. Amazon API Gateway vs. Amazon API Gateway: Which is better If you are using Azure products, API management is the right choice. It solves multiple problems involving web service externalization. It also has a great user interface for developer portals where developers can register, request and manage subscriptions seamlessly. Meanwhile, AWS API Gateway might be a great tool for organizations already using AS resources. It is good for web services development and developers who want to integrate external tools, and it provides extra security and authentication. API GW can also integrate static resources for front-end web services.
