    I have reviewed NGINX, Kong, and Azure API Management. While very capable, NGINX and Kong are server-based implementations; my team would prefer not to have another cluster of servers to manage. Having a managed service in API GW is preferable.

    Experienced a lack of available programming languages while working on a minor project. I had to halt the project and wait for it to be added later. It took ages and had a hit on our productivity. It has a centralized management system which helps and an easy interface which helps to manage multiple tasks in case of large-scale operations and projects.

    Pros
    Amazon AWS
    • API Gateway integrates well with AWS Lambda. This allows us to build a web server in the language and framework of our choice, deploy it as a Lambda function, and expose it through API Gateway.
    • API Gateway manages API keys. Building rate limiting and request quota features are not trivial (or interesting).
    • API Gateway's pricing can be very attractive for services that are accessed infrequently.

    Cons
    Amazon AWS
    • Client certificates are troublesome when trying to attach them to API GW stages.
    • Debugging across several services can be difficult when API GW is integrated with Route 53 and another service like Lambda or EC2/ELB.
    • Creating internal/private APIs, particularly with custom domains, can be unintuitive.

    Usability
    Amazon AWS
    It is a great product very reliable and stable for connecting various aws services like we connected with lambda function and it is working very well, never faced any issue after the setup. It also saves out lots of money as well as time after we implemented the automatic ec2 server recovery system

    When we tested Azure API Management at the time, it had serious connectivity issues, it was very unstable, and it needed to do a lot using the command line. Comparing with the AWS solution, which was more mature, and the fact that we have services in use on AWS, we ended up choosing to continue using AWS products. This so as not to run the risk of increasing latency in accesses, and of some functionality not working, due to being developed yet.

    Return on Investment
    Amazon AWS
    • ROI is negative, you need either to hire them to work with you or spend days/weeks to figure out issues.
    • For some of the projects in the end it is not worth it, it is just a "buzz" to use serverless but not practical.
    • Service is easy to set up authorization and it is easy to manage.
