"Fully Fledged, easy to deploy API"
What do you like best about Amazon API Gateway?

This service is awesome. It's as easy and simple or complex as you want it to be. AWS gives you control to method and viewer responses/requests to handle the way you'd like. The best part is you can just proxy the entire request to a Lambda function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon API Gateway?

Sometimes it's a bit complex to work with if you don't know APIs or Swagger. Another downside is custom domain names cause the API to deploy to the edge which takes time to update during test stages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon API Gateway?
