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…
Mahaboob Pasha - PeerSpot reviewer
Secure and simplify API management with effective deployment options
In our organization, we use Oracle API Platform Cloud Service primarily to host and manage our middleware APIs. Our middleware APIs are registered on this platform and exposed to a fixed domain, which supports our organizational goals effectively Since our enterprise has many APIs, Oracle API…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Amazon stack is easy to use in combination with other Amazon services, so it was a logical continuity."
"The most valuable feature in Amazon API Gateway is the itinerary release."
"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."
"One of the most valuable aspects of API Gateway is its native integration with AWS services."
"Amazon API Gateway can integrate with ECS and Lambda."
"It allows us to expose our APIs and provides tools for managing them."
"The technical support is very strong. We've had issues with the solution and configuration and we got very good support."
"It's a low-code solution that helps our company manage operations seamlessly"
"The solution is stable."
"The security mode and the deployment process are significant assets, offering simplified deployment and effective troubleshooting options, including Docker support."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
"I find the customizable dashboards convenient. When you have a privatized dashboard, it's easy to log in, get an immediate snapshot of what's happening, and quickly address any problems."
"The Gateways are communicating with a Management Service, which lives in the Cloud, to send usage information or to fetch changes for the deployed APIs."
"The most valuable features are the easy integration with the Oracle cloud, and that it's easy to use."
"Oracle's APIP CS is a platform capable for consistently covering the complete API Lifecycle from design to retirement, supporting an API-first approach."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service's UI is quite user-friendly and supports a hybrid deployment model."
 

Cons

"A lower price would definitely be an improvement."
"Currently, I'm not facing any issues with Amazon API Gateway, which satisfies my requirements. I'm pretty happy with what Amazon API Gateway offers, but as its pricing is on the higher side, that's one area for improvement in the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of Amazon API Gateway is an improvement in the status checks you get from the monitoring feature of the solution. Currently, you get the number of requests received, the number of reports, etc., but if there are more details than what's given by Amazon API Gateway, that will improve the solution."
"When using APIs, the manual bit for intermediate confirmation with VTL can be a challenge."
"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."
"API Gateway could improve by allowing debugging capabilities, particularly when dealing with high volumes."
"Its support for SAM integration could be made more accessible."
"Since the first invocation of AWS Lambda takes more than 30 seconds because of Lambda's cold start, Amazon API Gateway blocks that resource, thereby aborting the invocation."
"In future updates, we might be interested to see more enhancements after exploring the existing features over the next year."
"The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."
"There should be closer integration between the API Platform Cloud Service and the Identity Cloud Service to allow IDCS Applications, protecting backend systems, to be linked to the API Applications that consumers use to access APIs."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service provides an API documentation tool, which is quite outdated."
"Even when an API is functioning correctly, there seems to be a glitch within OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the platform's pricing a five out of ten."
"My understanding is that it easily goes to $14,000 or $15,000 USD each month for each account, and we have several such accounts."
"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 rate the tool's price as seven on a scale of one to ten, where one means low price and ten means high price."
"It is somewhat costly, particularly when it introduces server-related features, which are often scheduled on our end."
"The solution's pricing is cheap and based on the number of requests coming to Amazon API Gateway."
"This is a pay-per-use service, where you only pay for what you use."
"Amazon API Gateway is a very cheaply priced product."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service is a cheap solution."
"The pricing is for each logical gateway (a logical gateway can have multiple physical nodes)."
"The solution is expensive to scale."
"Pricing depends on the specific services used."
