    Amazon API's gateway does not have easy to set up policies and exception handling. It does not have a tracking mechanism. However, it is better to use AWS API's gateway if you have tight integration with AWS tools.

    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.

    Few scenarios 1. For viewing API analytics, I think it is best in the market 2. For earning money via API monetization 3. Securing API 4. Onboarding legacy APIs to provide modern REST endpoints

    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.

    • Better exception handling with the Raise exception policies help to monitor the flow by setting up the flow conditions.
    • Easy development of a Proxy and APIs with much less tutoring and helps make getting started for new users easy.
    • Very good documentation and blog with details of most common failures and error handling.
    • A very very easy to use console.

    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.

    • Only one user can be active in a proxy at a time
    • No version control
    • Prohibited from using JSON.stringify on Apigee objects (tokens)
    • Debugging is difficult
    • Unable to rename or delete policies without bumping revision
    • Why would anyone give a js policy one name, display name something else, and script a different name?
    • 'Trace' limited to only 20 transactions
    • UI allows users to add target servers, but users must utilize the api to turn on SSL.
    • I'm sure there's more, they just aren't coming to mind right now.
    • Apigee forgets (expires?) your password at random intervals without notice. Every few weeks, or days, sometimes even three times in one day, I'll attempt to login to Apigee and my password will be 'wrong'. I've reset my password and Apigee still claims it's wrong. I've had to reset my password three times before it finally let me log back in.

    I am not the one deciding whether to use apigee or not really. But personally, I would recommend the use of it as developing APIs on it is easy. And as a mediator between backend servers, we could easily modify request and responses in it without touching any backend code while having a centralize gateway to access our backend APIs too.

    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

    Quite hard to get support, at least on the coding side, when we encounter blockers. But general concerns, they would schedule a call to you for them to get a whole picture of your concern. Albeit in my experience, bad really as they haven't replied about the progress, but otherwise seems to have been fixed.

    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.

    Apigee is the best in the market in terms of API Analytics Apigee is having wonderful Documentation with short videos Security is a major concern and Apigee provides an easily configurable policy to secure API Quota and rate-limit is again very easy to configure on every API basis It provides various policies to transform the response from one form to another form e.g. JSON to XML or XML to JSON

    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.

    • As a public entity it is hard to say how much ROI we can have. We have yet to create a billing and ROI plan. We are thinking of other ways to create ROI, possibly through data/service barter.
