Protect, Augment, and Build GraphQL APIs with Azure API Management
REST APIs have been with us for over 20 years now. In that time, our expectations of client applications have grown. We expect client applications to run on mobile devices with low bandwidth yet still be responsive. Unfortunately, REST APIs restrict us in three basic ways: It takes too many requests to fulfill the data needs for a single page. The REST API returns too much data for the page being rendered. The client application needs to poll to get new information. There have been various attempts to solve these issues, and the current favorite is GraphQL. Azure API Management makes it easy to protect your GraphQL APIs and to build new GraphQL APIs from your existing REST APIs.
