API Management Platform

Additionally, an API management platform manages the entire
API lifecycle—from concept to production to retirement. An
API management cloud-native solution will allow deployment
on a variety of computing platforms. It should provide an
edge-caching mechanism to avoid load increases on backend
systems and support a wide range of security policy options.
A must-have is a customizable developer or partner portal for
onboarding and self-service key registration along with rich
API documentation features. Since dev-ops practices are so
important, the platform must seamlessly support deployment
and development tooling.
Both iPasS and API management platforms must deliver rich
real-time analytics reports for administrators to understand
how APIs are performing and detect any bottlenecks.
