HOW IT WORKS

Integration Architecture

ARCHITECTURE

Asynchronous outbound policy using `<send-one-way-request>`. Fire-and-forget execution.

DATA BOUNDARY

What crosses the boundary

Every data point Aforo captures and every action it executes on Azure APIM.

Ingestion (What We Receive)
01subscription-primary-key-hash
02Method
03UrlTemplate
04StatusCode
05latency
Mutation (What We Execute)
01Provision users, Create APIM subscriptions
02Create subscriptions, Bind to products
03PATCH state: "suspended", Suspend access
