Amazon API Gateway
Fully managed service to create, deploy, and manage APIs
Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed AWS service that enables developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale. It acts as the "front door" for applications to access data, business logic, or functionality from your backend services.<br><br>API Gateway handles all the tasks involved in accepting and processing up to hundreds of thousands of concurrent API calls, including traffic management, authorization and access control, monitoring, and API version management.<br><br>Key features include:<br><br>1. RESTful API and WebSocket API support<br>2. Stateless and serverless architecture<br>3. Integration with AWS Lambda for serverless architectures<br>4. Direct integration with AWS services like DynamoDB, S3, and more<br>5. Request/response data transformation and validation<br>6. API keys for client identification<br>7. Usage plans for throttling and quota management<br>8. CloudWatch integration for monitoring<br>9. AWS X-Ray integration for request tracing<br>10. Cache capabilities to improve performance<br>11. Custom domain name support<br>12. Regional, edge-optimized, and private API deployments<br>13. Stage variables for different deployment environments<br>14. Canary release deployments for testing<br>15. API documentation with Swagger/OpenAPI support<br><br>API Gateway is commonly used to create REST APIs for serverless applications, replacing traditional web server infrastructure. It can proxy requests to backend services or invoke Lambda functions, making it ideal for microservices architectures.<br><br>Pricing is based on the number of API calls received and data transferred out. When combined with other AWS services like Lambda and DynamoDB, API Gateway enables building complete applications that scale automatically and only incur costs when actually used.<br><br>API Gateway provides end-to-end API management, allowing architects to focus on building the API logic rather than infrastructure management.
