Amazon API Gateway Reviews

We use the solution to protect APIs from malicious attacks.

The solution's performance and scalability could be better than Azure.

We have been using the solution for two years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

Comparatively, Azure is better than AWS in terms of performance and scalability.

The solution's initial setup process is straightforward.

The solution's price is reasonable.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Our primary use case is a fully serverless architecture for the application.

The most valuable feature is it has lots of integration.

When it comes to  DDoS protection, I would like to see that become available at the API Gateway level.

I have been working with Amazon API Gateway for the past two years.

There is excellent stability.

The scalability is currently showing me ten thousand requests per second. That is very good in our case.

The initial setup is straightforward and easy.

The deployment has taken us around eighteen minutes to complete.

We use all open-source technology.

I would rate Amazon API Gateway a nine out of ten.

The most valuable feature in Amazon API Gateway is the itinerary release.

Amazon API Gateway can improve the user interface in some areas it could be more polished.

In a future release, it would be beneficial for more documentation, even though their documentation is already very good, but better documentation could help us build more of what you want yourself.

I have been using Amazon API Gateway for approximately seven months.

I have not reached out to the support from Amazon API Gateway.

The initial setup of Amazon API Gateway is straightforward and the process took approximately one day.

We did the implementation of the solution in-house.

There is an annual licensing cost to use Amazon API Gateway.

My advice to others would be for them to keep their eye on the cost.

I rate Amazon API Gateway a nine out of ten.

I use this solution for mobile app development. It is the API gateway for my backend.

The most valuable feature is the ease of managing the gateway.

This solution is useful for making new APIs. We deploy with CloudFormation, so it's pretty easy to use.

The way they manage the headers could be improved and made easier.

There are some certificates that they will not let us use.

I would like to see the web console improved.

There should be more videos and documentation about the new features that are released every month.

This solution is very stable.

It is a scalable solution. We have ten users in my team who service approximately five thousand people through our apps, and we are increasing the usage every day.

We have a solution architect from AWS and he is working with us. The support from Amazon is great. On a scale of one to five, I would rate technical support a five.

We did not use another cloud solution prior to this one. However, we did use an on-premises API gateway from CA Technologies. It is a very capable solution, but it is more expensive and we also had to maintain it ourselves. It is not a managed service like the API gateway from AWS.

The initial setup of this solution is very easy. It only takes a few minutes.

This solution is a managed service, so we don't need to be concerned with maintenance. AWS does the management and scaling for us. It's serverless.

I took care of the deployment myself.

We have seen ROI. It's pay-per-use, so you won't lose any money.

This is a pay-per-use service, where you only pay for what you use.

We had our on-premises solution, and we also evaluated Apigee from Google. Ultimately, we felt that AWS, for our use case, was the best option. The main reasons are the ease of use and pricing.

My advice to anybody who is implementing this solution is to first read the documentation and follow the steps. Make a use case, create a proof of concept, and then migrate it to production environments. It's pretty easy to use.

This is a good product, but there is always room for improvement.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for providing controlled access to our services running within Amazon.

You can code anything and hook it on to it but it doesn't give you stuff out of the box like the other gateways give you. You can do anything with it because you just attach a LAN to it and it will do anything, but that's to the custodian. You know you're not using the power of the gateway. It's hard to configure. There's a lot of options but it's very hard, it's very confusing.

In the future, I'd like to see Amazon develop a portal and monetization that is not only for the Amazon Marketplace.

The solution is very stable.

The solution is very easily scalable.

The technical support is very strong. We've had issues with the solution and configuration and we've gotten very good support.

We used something else, but Amazon is more powerful. We moved to the cloud.

I didn't do the initial setup, so I'm not sure how hard it was to implement, or how long deployment took. Right now, we have two DevOps people handling the maintenance.

We didn't evaluate any other options before choosing this current solution.

I would rate this solution a five out of 10. If there was a better configuration, I'd give it a higher score.
