Overall Satisfaction with Amazon API Gateway

We used Amazon API Gateway to call a lambda function that start our ec2 instance when we need it in running state. It is a fallback system during DNS failover via Route 53 it checks the primary server using the route53 health checker and if it is failed(unhealthy ) then it hits the Amazom API Gateway endpoint to start the EC2 server vis Lambda function.

Pros

  • It works very well with the Lambda and Route 53
  • Can integrate custom domain
  • Can monitor all the logs through cloudwatch

Cons

  • I feel the setup process is little bit complex and time taking for beginners
  • It has a great positive impact in our organisation as we used it to reduce our cost of ec2 server by implementing automatic recovery system.
  • This saves our time as earlier we have to start ec3 server manually but now it start the server just by one click only.
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.

It worked perfectly without any issue and help us to reduce the cost of ec2 server
