I built a web application using react and node , and also i want to build a mobile app , so i'm trying to build REST API to manage the database . I heard about the Azure API management and trying to using it but couldn't find any tutorial that relevant with javascript
Does Anyone know good tutorial to refer??
Azure API Management is not intended to create API, it is intended to act as a proxy, to harden your API against attacks from outside. You should be using WebApp or ApiApp to create your API.
I assume that you want to build Mobile App back-end on Azure with node.js SDK.
About how to use the Azure Mobile Apps Node.js SDK, you could refer to the official documentation here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service-mobile/app-service-mobile-node-backend-how-to-use-server-sdk.
Also, you could take the following complete series tutorial on the Node.js SDK as reference: https://shellmonger.com/30-days-of-azure-mobile-apps-the-table-of-contents/.
Any further concern or my misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

We are going to develop Web API using Asp.net core 2.2
Now we want to use it as serverless, so decided to use API Management (APIM) for the same.
When we started looking into how to deploy API in APIM, it seems, we 1st need to deploy API in App Service and then configure it in APIM.
As in this case, we are not going with serverless architecture (i.e. paying only for calls) and we are paying for both i.e. App Service and APIM (to have under VNet, £1500 more)
Is this the right approach?
While going thru more on this, i found that we also can write Azure functions using Visual Studio code OR Visual Studio 2017. Hopefully it will be similar kind of development experience as we have with Web API.
So with Azure Functions, it will be serverless architecture.
Only issue is that AzureFunctions#Edge is not available as of now and we need to use 3rd party CDN like CloudFlare for the same.
I usually develop web apps with MEAN but I came to work for a business that uses Bigcommerce. I want to know if I can incorporate node.js applications into bigcommerce and if so, how?
Our API is language-agnostic, so you can use Node.js or any other language to integrate with a store. Here's a link to a community-contributed SDK that may help you get started:
https://github.com/getconversio/node-bigcommerce
This SDK provides methods for authenticating and making requests against the BigCommerce API. We are a SaaS platform, so any code that you write would be hosted on your own server. You can check out our developer documentation for more resources: https://developer.bigcommerce.com
I have a requirement to deploy multiple version of the same API app where the client older application use the existing and the new clients use the new api app which is got more functionality.
Is there a way to achieve this with Azure API Apps?
I have an article that shows how to do Transparent Versioning using API Management in front of API Apps.
The basic idea is that you have a version parameter in a URL and then use the set-backend-service to change which version of the API to access.
Microsoft Azure Mobile platform, Windows Azure Mobile Services WAMS, or its new version, App Services, are great Cloud and MBaaS tools for building mobile backends. They use a NodeJS Restful Service Engine combined with an ORM Engine to provide a very easy-to-use platform.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use this framework outside the Azure Cloud environment, i.e. in an on-premises environment ? Is this kind of NodeJS framework open ? What is the name of this framework ?
The Azure Mobile Apps Node.js SDK to Mobile Apps is an express middleware package which makes it easy to create a backend for your mobile application.
The SDK package is still in development, but you can get all the code and documents at https://github.com/Azure/azure-mobile-apps-node
About Mobile Service in Node, there is no full code project repository, but you can glance the entire code in KUDU console site of your mobile service, the URL should look like: https://<your_mobile_service_name>.scm.azure-mobile.net/DebugConsole. The root directory is D:\home\site\wwwroot
Azure Mobile Services and/or Azure Mobile Apps are only available in Azure. There is no 'framework' that you can download and install on your own infrastructures.
Besides the Node.Js version of Mobile Services there is also an .NET version which is basically just an MVC Web API with some additional 'services' added to it (notifications, authorization, etc.)
So, you could just build an MVC Web API app and manually add the missing components by using oAuth, entity framework, etc. However, this is probably not what you are looking for :)
Hope this helps!

Kudu is the engine behind git/hg deployments, WebJobs, and various other features in Azure Web Sites. It can also run outside of Azure. It can run on premise https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu but unfortunately the rest of mobile services cannot
is there any way to publish my API in azure mobile service API instead of using its own. I want just to know it, because assume I have a backup server in amazon and as you know I don't have access to azure sdk in there and it means technically I cant use the API anywhere outside the azure.
Azure mobile services is actually based on the .Net web api in their C# flavor and on node.js on the Javascript side. You could surely write an API using those technology and have the same behavior. You will gain the fact of being more portable, however you will lose some of the preconfigured stuff from Mobile services.
If you are using .NET, please check this to see how to build a Web api! http://www.asp.net/web-api.
If you are using Javascript, here is where you should start : https://nodejs.org/
Both tech are quite easy to learn and super powerfull, have fun! When your API is built, you could just publish them as an azure Web APP (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/app-service/web/) or an Azure API (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/app-service/api/) instead of the mobile App
Hope it helps, if you have more questions, please ask!
You can create and publish your own custom APIs in azure mobile service. You could even access in via azure mobile service sdk in client by using "InvokeApiAsync<>()" method.

If you want to access the api via fidder/httpclient than AZM SDK, pass the mobile service key in HTTP header as Name:'x-zumo-application' value:'application key from portal'
