API Gateway Centralizes Access to Diverse Backends with Secure Routing

AWS API Gateway has become the central entry point for our internal and external APIs, giving us a secure and consistent way to route traffic to multiple backend services. We use it to expose static content from S3, Lambda‑based APIs, and external services running behind ELBs, all governed through a single gateway. Lambda authorizers handle authentication cleanly, and routing based on secret IDs and URL paths makes it easy to manage different workloads without adding operational overhead. Overall, API Gateway ties our architecture together and simplifies how we present a unified API layer across diverse backend systems to customer as one entity backed by Web Application Firewall. Definitely not an easy service to setup given, if yo use its full potential. AWS has top notch customer support anyway but debugging will take a lot of time.

Powerful ML-driven personalization without the complexity

What I like most about Amazon Personalize is how easy it makes to implement machine learning recommendations without needing deep ML expertise. The API integration is straightforward and the results are really accurate. It handles the heavy lifting of data processing and model training automatically, which saves our team alot of time. The real-time personalization capabilities are excellent for our ecommerce platform, and we've seen significant improvements in user engagement and conversion rates since implementing it.

Powerful and Essential Access Control Tool for Secure Cloud Environments

As a user, what I like most about AWS IAM is the strong control and security it provides for managing access to AWS resources. It supports very granular permission management, so users only receive access to what they actually need. Features like role-based access, policies, and permission boundaries make it easier to follow security best practices and keep permissions well-scoped. Once the initial setup is in place, it runs reliably in the background without requiring much day-to-day attention. I also appreciate how smoothly IAM integrates with other AWS services, which helps keep access management consistent across the platform.
