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…
Sudhanshu Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Integrating API Gateway with other AWS services was easy. It worked out of the box, so it worked perfectly."
"The solution is solid, robust, and scalable."
"t is easy for integrations if it is deployed in AWS Services."
"In terms of scalability, I haven't encountered any issues with API Gateway. We've significantly increased our traffic from hitting it once or twice a minute to now hitting it ten to fifteen times within a minute. In an hour, we're receiving hundreds of hits. So, it's performing excellently."
"It's flexible. It was valuable."
"The product is really good when it comes to API lifecycle management, and it is not just something that includes the balancing part or the security aspect but also the routing and the fallback mechanism."
"It is a stable solution."
"API Gateway is easy to set up, allows for custom domain assignment and rate limiting based on customer tiers, and works well for defining different states for different customers based on their purchase plans."
"The administration tool for this solution is good."
"I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement."
"We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"This product is a ten when it comes to API management."
"In general, API governance provides a better experience for providers."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"There are features lacking in API Gateway, such as the timeout settings, which currently are set at 29 seconds."
"Its support for SAM integration could be made more accessible."
"Amazon API Gateway can improve the user interface in some areas it could be more polished."
"API Gateway lacks some governance features that MuleSoft offers, and there are additional features that could make it even better."
"I believe better governance and monitoring features would be beneficial."
"There should be more videos and documentation about the new features that are released every month."
"The integration could be improved."
"It would be useful to have a more complete development environment for the developer, with different integrative capabilities to manage all the life cycles for the API. I think the full version formula for that is really useful. They should improve the development environment for easier integration."
"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 API Mocking tools need to be improved."
"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."
"It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
"Team management capabilities could be improved."
"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am satisfied with the price."
"It's cost-effective, even as our workload and the number of APIs we manage have increased."
"We use all open-source technology."
"The product is a little expensive."
"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."
"The pricing model for API Gateway is advantageous due to its serverless nature, as it depends on traffic volume."
"This is a pay-per-use service, where you only pay for what you use."
"The solution is expensive. Though the product was previously available at a cheap rate, nowadays it 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."
