[Azure API Management](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/api-management/api-management-key-concepts) is a way to create consistent and modern API gateways for back-end services, including those built with Dapr. You can enable Dapr support in self-hosted API Management gateways to allow them to:
- Forward requests to Dapr services
- Send messages to Dapr Pub/Sub topics
- Trigger Dapr output bindings

Try out the [Dapr & Azure API Management Integration sample](https://github.com/dapr/samples/tree/master/dapr-apim-integration).
