some services are complexity, and some services costs scaling unexpectedly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

API Gateway is an AWS service that helps you to build, deploying, and managing APIs. So you can focus more on the backend part and create a valuable products.

I personally used API gateway with one of the popular services of aws called as aws lambda to invoke lambda functions.

Api gateway also provides rate limiter and api throttling capabilities.

It is secure and also provides you with monitoring and logging tools for better debugging and performance managment.

It also has default authentication and authorization mechanisms, it also supports HTTPS encryption and request throttling Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some latency issues when you pair api gateway with lambda functions of aws. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has flexiblity to support different types of api's and also very good automatic scaling for balancing load.It is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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 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.

It's VTL language for any inflight transformation is difficult to understand, moreover http is released with a limited set of fearures Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

AWS API Gateway brings with all the important API management and governance features with an ease of simple configuration.

Automatic scaling and easy integration with all the major AWS services is a game changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing much to dislike but sometimes limited customisation options brings difficulties. Pricing is also bit complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I Started using Amazon API gateway because of it's reliablity and flexibility and most import it is fully secure by AWS security. You dont have take care of deployement and latency is also low. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Things that i don't like about the Amazon API Gateway is that it support very limited protocols like http or https. Above all it's pricing model is little complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
