Study Notes
API Gateway Overview
- Fully managed service for publishing, maintaining, monitoring, and securing APIs at any scale.
- Works in conjunction with AWS Lambda to form the serverless infrastructure.
- Supports back-end services like Amazon EC2, AWS Lambda, and web applications.
- Manages tasks including traffic management, authorization, monitoring, and version control for up to hundreds of thousands of concurrent API calls.
API Features
- Provides a REST API that communicates via JSON and exposes only HTTPS endpoints.
- Supports API keys and usage plans for throttling and quota management.
- Permissions for API invocation are managed through IAM roles or custom authorizers.
API Endpoint Types
- Edge-Optimized: Optimized for global clients, utilizes CloudFront.
- Regional: Best for clients within a specific AWS region.
- Private: Accessible only within a virtual private cloud (VPC).
API Methods
- Methods correspond to HTTP actions such as GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, and AWS provides an “ANY” method for catch-all scenarios.
Deployments and Stages
- Deployments create a snapshot of API resources and methods and are required for public access.
- Stages represent lifecycle states (e.g., ‘dev’, ‘prod’) and can be configured with variables similar to environment variables.
Caching
- Caching improves latency and reduces backend calls, with a default TTL of 300 seconds (maximum 3600 seconds).
- Cache size ranges from 0.5GB to 237GB and can be encrypted.
API Throttling
- Implement limits on a steady-state request rate and burst submissions to manage traffic effectively.
- Throttling settings can be configured for individual API keys through usage plans.
Integration Types
- AWS Integration: Exposes AWS service actions.
- AWS_PROXY Integration: Streamlined setup for AWS Lambda function invocations.
- HTTP Integration: Exposes backend HTTP endpoints with configuration required.
- HTTP_PROXY Integration: Allows requests to be passed through without extra configuration.
- MOCK Integration: Simulates responses for testing without invoking backend services.
Usage Plans and API Keys
- Usage plans control access and usage limits for one or more deployed API stages and methods.
- API keys are distributed to app developers for access control, and usage plans enforce throttle and quota limits.
Identity and Access Management
- Various access control mechanisms include API Gateway resource policies, IAM policies, and Cognito user pools for authentication.
- Resource policies allow control over who can invoke the API.
Additional Features
- API Gateway maintains multiple API versions and stages.
- SDK Generation available for iOS, Android, and JavaScript.
- Integrates with CloudFront for reduced latency and DDoS protection.
Monitoring and Logging
- Logs API performance metrics such as calls, latency, and error rates to CloudWatch.
- Integrated with AWS CloudTrail for an auditable history of API changes and calls.
Open API / Swagger Support
- Supports importing and exporting Swagger / Open API 3.0 definitions for REST API management.
- Allows for defining APIs as code and facilitating API modifications.
Pricing Model
- Pay-as-you-go model with no minimum fees – charges based on API calls and data transferred.
- Free tier includes one million API calls per month for up to 12 months.
