Overall Satisfaction with Amazon API Gateway
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.
