API Management within SAP BTP Integration Suite enables organizations to design, secure, publish, monitor, and monetize APIs that expose backend systems (S/4HANA, ECC, third-party, or cloud services) to internal and external consumers. This topic covers the business rationale for API-led integration, core architectural concepts such as API proxies and policies, developer portal usage, security enforcement, and runtime traffic management across Cloud Foundry and Kyma-based landscapes.
