Summary

API Management can be used to provide developer access to key information in your organization, information that could be sensitive, or that needs to be limited in use.

Through the use of products, policies, and security, it is possible to ensure that firm control is maintained over the API estate.

The developer experience can be tailored to provide a virtual storefront to any APIs along with information and blogs to help drive deeper developer engagement.

Although not discussed in this chapter, it is also possible for developers to publish their own applications to the API Management instance for other developers to use.

API Management is an important tool in the management, governance, and monitoring of your organization's API assets.
