Overall Satisfaction with Amazon API Gateway

Amazon API Gateway has been adopted by multiple teams within our organization.
It offers an intuitive easy-to-use entry point to the AWS serverless services, and has helped our team move traditional 3-tier web applications to the cloud with ease.
  • Support for multiple stages/environments.
  • Great settings for configuring routing, caching, and CORS.
  • Integrates well with other AWS services.
  • Granting permissions for accessing Lambda functions using stage variables needs to be improved.
  • Reminders to deploy the API after changes have been made would be helpful.
  • It has reduced our development time significantly through its click and drag interface.
  • Minimal downtime for backend changes.
It is best suited for building out the APIs for a serverless backend. It may not be the best option for Mobile backends, in which case AWS AppSync would be preferred over API Gateway.
