Self-Hosted Gateway Design Patterns Discussion

Microsoft Azure provides the default API management platform tool call API Management, which provides rich features to manage and monitor APIs in the Azure environment. However, for the hybrid on-prem/off-prem cloud environment and multi-cloud environment, the organization may want to simplify the API communication to make it more efficient, flexible on executing external workflow, or plugin a security module to manage APIs hosted on-premises or across clouds.
