Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale.
About API Gateway
API Gateway handles all the tasks involved in accepting and processing up to hundreds of thousands of concurrent API calls, including traffic management, CORS support, authorization and access control, throttling, monitoring, and API version management. API Gateway has no minimum fees or startup costs. You pay for the API calls you receive and the amount of data transferred out and, with the API Gateway tiered pricing model, you can reduce your cost as your API usage scales.
How we're using API Gateway
Here at Tensor, we love using API Gateway. Instead of having to create our own compute resources, install and configure server software, and write the API controller code from scratch, API Gateway does that all for us with just a few clicks. Plus, API Gateway makes scaling projects so efficient, and saves us (and our clients!) a lot of money, since we only pay for what we use.
