The communication is as follows:

  1. Request is sent to API endpoint in API management.
  2. The above request is passed to the Backend API via API management.
  3. The request is processed in the Backend API and if necessary the data layer is used and the result is generated
  4. The response, which contains the result, is sent back to the API management.
  5. The API management sends the response to the caller.
