Let’s assume there is a .net web api application and that the developer wants to use a different value of a nested property than the one in application settings.

During the 23rd AzureHeads meetup, I delivered an introductory presentation concerning Azure API management; I started with the basics (what it is and how can someone get started) and then I showcased a set of features in the Azure Portal, such as: connecting APIs with Azure Functions and import APIs through Swagger developer portal prevention of API usage spikes using…
Let’s assume you have started experimenting with Azure Functions and, for your first app, you have chosen the Azure Portal as your development environment. You have created a new Azure Function by clicking the Plus icon next to your Azure Function name, selected In-portal from the first step of the wizard, and from the second screen you picked the Webhook…
