About AWS API Gateway

AWS API Gateway is a managed service for creating, publishing, and securing APIs that connect web and mobile applications to backend services.

Amazon API Gateway lets developers define HTTP, REST, and WebSocket APIs that front backends running on AWS Lambda, EC2, or external web services. It handles authentication, authorization, traffic management, and request/response transformation, making it suitable for teams building mobile and web application backends without managing API infrastructure directly.

Where to start

Start by creating an API in the AWS Console or via the AWS SDK, defining your resources and methods, then connecting them to a backend integration such as a Lambda function. The JavaScript SDK package @aws-sdk/client-api-gateway can be used to manage API Gateway resources programmatically.
