Amazon API Gateway overview

What is Amazon API Gateway?

Amazon API Gateway is an API management solution that enables developers to create, maintain, and monitor APIs in one place. Developers can either choose to create RESTful APIs or WebSocket APIs to implement data access, business logic, or functionality for backend services.

Amazon API Gateway can handle a multitude of tasks related to receiving and processing API calls such as traffic management and monitoring, version management, throttling, access control, and more. Users can easily run multiple APIs all at the same to quickly test and release new versions. All performance metrics and information for data latency, API calls, and more is completely store in API Gateway.

“We have a recurring problem with the timeout limit on the API. There are some APIs we want to develop but are unable to due to the timeout limit (30s).”
