The API that everyone needs.
In our organization, Amazon API Gateway helps developers to manage, create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs of any and all scales. It helps a lot in streamlining administrations. It has a fantastic setup and security for hosting REST APIs that comply with HIPPA guidelines and regulations. Its operation is very easy to use and flexible.

- It helped a lot in increasing productivity.
- Work efficiency increased.
- Productivity sometimes takes a major hit due to a lack of programming languages.
Pricing is better at Amazon API gateway. Amazon API gateway is more user-friendly than SAP HANA Cloud. But SAP HANA Cloud supports more programming languages. The centralized management and monitoring system of Amazon API Gateway is more user-friendly. The User-Interface of Amazon API gateway is also better. Overall we can conclude that Amazon API Gateway provides a better work experience than SAP HANA.
We use Amazon API Gateway at the IT department for all internal and external tools integration which involves web services. Our organization uses Amazon API Gateway to have an authentication layer and security for all the public-facing web services. It helped our organization to have better security and zero downtime for new version deployments.
- API Authentication
- Zero downtime
- Easy deployment
- Not so easy to use for the first time
- Need more examples in the documentation with multiple programming languages

- Development time for API is reduced by ~25%
- Server less billing
- Adding Web services security and setting usage limits is very easy
Our organization uses AWS infrastructure for many projects across different business units so we choose Amazon API Gateway for initial web services development. After exploring all features especially integration with other Amazon services like Lamda and Cloud watch we chose to continue with Amazon API Gateway. The billing is very competitive with other vendors as it is server less.
Our organization uses Amazon API Gateway to orchestrate and consolidate web service APIs across projects. It is a useful multi-purpose tool, and we use it to integrate authentication to our APIs, build out consolidated responses from different API endpoints, and to provide a single point of access to multiple web service APIs developed using a myriad of different technologies and programming languages. It also provides a great way to document and integrate web services via Swagger integrations.
- Service orchestration
- Response transformations
- Authentication and Authorization
- Request throttling
- Integration with multiple types of web services
- Ease of configuration
- Easier integration with different AWS network schemes

- Development time for API applications has been reduced by 15%
- Issues related to auth reduced by 50%
- Velocity of integrating heterogenous API applications has increased by 30-40%
Our primary architecture is AWS, so we selected [Amazon] API Gateway as our gateway solution. While Apigee and SwaggerHub provide great solutions for service orchestration, [Amazon] API Gateway provided the best integrations with our web services which were mostly running within AWS behind AWS load balancers. [Amazon] API Gateway could also act as a trigger for a set of AWS Lambda functions that we were using for small task APIs.

A Powerful Tool for Developing Micro-Services Rapidly
We use Amazon API Gateway in conjunction with AWS Lambda functions and the Serverless framework to rapidly build microservices. This combination is very powerful, particularly for small development teams, because it allows us to delegate work to AWS; we can focus our development effort only on features that yield competitive advantages for our business.
- 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.
- API Gateway introduces some concepts, such as Stages and Integration Requests, that are foreign to most developers. The documentation hints in the Console help, but sometimes these concepts are not transferred to frameworks like Serverless.
- Systems that use API Gateway may behave differently in end-to-end tests in local or CI environments.
- Navigating the Console can be confusing.
- It could be easier to codify API Gateway configurations.

- API Gateway has positively impacted our business by increasing the stability of our services. It is easy to implement rate limiting and horizontal scaling with API Gateway; this helps us to deliver highly-available services.
- API Gateway has increased our developer's productivity because they can delegate the management of web services to AWS. They can focus on features instead of Nginx configurations.
- API Gateway makes access control easy, which makes securing our services easier.
Nginx is a powerful tool but configuring, running and maintaining but Nginx will never be a competitive advantage for our business. API Gateway is powerful because it is managed and does what we need out-of-the-box. Nginx is used more widely in the community; it may be easier to find developers with Nginx experience.
