Amazon API Gateway

  • API Gateway is a managed service from AWS which allows the creation of API Endpoints, Resources & Methods.

  • The API gateway integrates with other AWS services - and can even access some without the need for dedicated compute.

  • It serves as a core component of many serverless architectures using Lambda as event-driven and on-demand backing for methods.

  • It can also connect to legacy monolithic applications and act as a stable API endpoint during an evolution from a monolith to microservices and potentially through to serverless.
