Managing multiple APIs in a single environment is great, being able to publish and edit is easy, the cost is lower compared to some other similar services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon API Gateway?

All requests and responses must go through the gateway, they increase the latency of each call, but it's not much, it's manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined but flexible cloud API management"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon API Gateway?

Amazon API Gateway makes it easy to manage cloud-based APIs and functions. Integrating with internal AWS features as well as external sources is well-designed and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon API Gateway?

API Gateway does a decent job of making costs clear, but at times it's unclear exactly how much it will cost to run an API in production. There are also some features that require some special skillsets to understand well enough to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Api Gateway for Api forwarding"
4/5
What do you like best about Amazon API Gateway?

Its the single endpoint I configure and call through all my applications, Most times never crossing the free limit.

Api latency is negligible and can be used in most apps , The port feature is lacking , We can't call endpoints with a port at end.

It can be easily setup and integrated with most applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon API Gateway?

I wish they increase the default timeout to 60s atleast.

Without that it has caused us problems during some lambda functions where the function is running but the api returns timeout error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The features are limited and it needs to expand to API discovery for more better rate limiting functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
