"Very useful and great service for managing APIs"
What do you like best about Amazon API Gateway?

The ease of use and integration with other services on AWS

It is very easy to implement, no complicted understanding is required.

AWS support is quite well versed and can help the customers all the time, we just have to raise a support ticket and reach out to them

I use this service day in day out, everyday. It's one of core component of infrastructure we handle

API Gateway provides multiple features from connecting to other AWS services, External endpoints, internal endpoints via VPC links, connectivity with Network Load Balancers, Testing within API Gateway, logging, monitoring. It's a pretty well versed service in itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon API Gateway?

Management of APIs is quite hectic if there is a long list of APIs. Especially, when API's are connecting to multiple different AWS services/Endpoints. Using Swagger/Open API reduces the effort a little bit. Although you will still have to manage a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"API gateway is becoming an unavoidable resource"

API gateway comes withs a lot of benefits around efficiently managing your API's integration, authentication and traffic.

API gateway let's you host your API's using REST HTTP or GraphQL, it provides the benefit of defining resources and it's corresponding stages.

Resource can be tested individually using AWS console. It provides integration with many AWS services out of the box, like AWS Lambda, VPC Link to connect to any endpoint privately etc.

It's helps to generate API'S using the spec Rest specifications from code or directly from swagger json or XML schemas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowering API Growth Securely and in Easy way"
What do you like best about Amazon API Gateway?

For one, it fits perfectly in an AWS environment. In turn, it enables me to readily connect my APIs to AWS Lambda functions or AWS DynamoDB tables with ease as I build, deploy and manage them. This is an example of a close integration which simplifies a development, lowers complexities, and allows me to concentrate on designing efficient and expandable API’s without thinking about supporting infrastructures. It’s revolutionary for anybody operating in the AWS ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon API Gateway?

The one thing that challenges me here is the complexity of prices. It can be complexly understanding and estimating the costs, particularly as the volume of API requests and Data Transfer grows in number. It calls for proper planning and surveys to prevent any unforeseen charges. Furthermore, Amazon API Gateway provides many features; however its some advanced adjustments might need an innovative approach in regard to routing and transformation cases. Finally, it requires a training period on how to utilize all of its aspects to their full potential for persons who lack knowledge in AWS services and API management.
