Rahul Kundu - PeerSpot reviewer
Cost-effective serverless routing with room for extended timeout settings
We are using API Gateway to route the traffic to our Lambdas. Every API pass is linked to some of the Lambdas. When traffic hits CloudFront, it redirects it to API Gateway, which then redirects it to the respective Lambda server. We have different kinds of services invoked through these Lambdas…

We get stability, scalability, and security
Axway provides good documentation that newcomers can easily follow, but I believe the initial setup would be tough for someone new. Experienced employees know where everything is and how to do their job, so it would be difficult for a new hire to get up to speed. For an experienced person, I give the initial setup a ten out of ten. Deployment can be considered a hundred lines of code and some a thousand lines. For a simple deployment, it takes 10-15 seconds. And if the environment connectivity is good enough to respond and there is some heavy code that is being deployed, it takes around 30-60 seconds max, if we are referring to the cloud, where the connectivity for the long duration of the calls is there. The total deployment time is one minute to finish up. From the industrial point of view, Europe has a major chunk of users followed by, the US, and then Australia or the Asia-Pacific region.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The Cognito authorization integration is very useful, along with the easy multi-region integration and connectivity with various AWS services like SQS, SNS, and Lambda functions."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"It provides the flexibility to configure, switch, and manage configurations through cloud permissions or performance settings."
"In terms of most valuable features, it would say that it is really easy to start working with it."
"t is easy for integrations if it is deployed in AWS Services."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Amazon API Gateway facilitates our serverless architecture, particularly with Lambda, by allowing us to perform various tasks. For instance, Lambda functions authorize API calls, execute multiple workloads, and integrate with other services like Azure and Kubernetes. Additionally, we leverage Lambda functions behind the Amazon API Gateway to query databases, process data, and interact with different systems."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"The best feature of Axway Amplify API Management is its exceptional level of security, which is highly reassuring, coupled with its remarkable capacity to handle substantial volumes of data in impressively efficient turnaround times."
"I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement."
"The administration tool for this solution is good."
"There's drag and drop functionality so that you do not need to have a senior expert developer to make use of the tool. You can get more of your staff trained up to be able to use it as it's not overly technical."
"This product is a ten when it comes to API management."
"We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"The API portal capability is a valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Amazon API Gateway needs to focus on minimizing latency."
"API Gateway lacks some governance features that MuleSoft offers, and there are additional features that could make it even better."
"Like most Amazon services, and this one's the same, you're expected to effectively do your own support, and any other support is by emails, so it's quite limited."
"Their support services come at a considerable cost, leaving room for improvement."
"The tool's UI requires time to understand."
"Its support for SAM integration could be made more accessible."
"When using APIs, the manual bit for intermediate confirmation with VTL can be a challenge."
"The solution could improve signature validation."
"Team management capabilities could be improved."
"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."
"In terms of customer service, the company needs to be easier to contact, and the support team needs to understand the situation and the product itself better."
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."
"The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
"The areas for enhancement should be improving certain filters within the solution. Although they are generally functional, there are occasional problems that could be more precisely adjusted. Additionally, the solution performs well within its workload limitations, but it may not be suitable for scaling up or managing a larger volume of transactions through the gateway. To address this, it may be necessary to adopt a unique architecture rather than relying on traditional pre-packaged options."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon API Gateway has various pricing plans, but I cannot give the exact cost, though I can say that it's expensive. On a scale of one to five, I'd rate the pricing for Amazon API Gateway as two, as the solution is one of the most expensive products in the market for API management."
"AWS charges for data ingress and egress, which could be further reduced. This would be helpful for customers dealing with large amounts of data coming in or going out from their systems."
"I am satisfied with the price."
"The product is a little expensive."
"It's cost-effective, even as our workload and the number of APIs we manage have increased."
"It is somewhat costly, particularly when it introduces server-related features, which are often scheduled on our end."
"I rate the platform's pricing a five out of ten."
"The product is expensive."
"The solution is expensive. When you acquire a license you have full access to the solution, unlike other competitors such as Apigee X, where there are fragmented licenses. Some licenses only allow access to certain features while others allow access to more features. Upon procuring this solution's license, you will have full access to the solution, allowing you to experiment with all of its features."
