Faced challenges with audit trails and seek better user-level monitoring and control
Regarding built-in authorization, monitoring is quite substantial, and versioning systems is also what we are using. With Amazon API Gateway, we utilize a variety of deployment methods and services they provide, so monitoring services are the important parameter in API control from our side, allowing us to see how the APIs behave and how well they pick up the data from their respective sources. Integration with AWS Lambda has been beneficial since we have event controllers that help identify the APIs, which then call the API from the API services. We're managing this with events that are parameterized through API identification, mostly using Python in Lambda, which has inbuilt features to track API lifecycle parameters. The defined parameterized features in Amazon API Gateway help streamline API lifecycle management. Our AWS system admin team sets these configurations for us. The versioning number gets updated as we deploy revised API versions, which gets monitored on the API monitoring services. The cloud engineering team assists us as we are from a solutions development and deployment team. The importance of Amazon API Gateway's global API deployment for our application's performance is significant in terms of scalability and availability. Amazon API Gateway services have been very good, maintaining a 99.99 SLA, providing us confidence in the global deployment level as it is capable of handling various endpoint types, such as database sites and legacy systems.

Real-time data has transformed our workflows and delivers faster, more reliable insights
I have multiple favorite features of Tinybird that stand out to me. The first is real-time data processing, which enables timely access to operational and analytical information. Second, we love the SQL-based transformation, which makes data manipulation familiar and accessible to our engineering teams. Third, API development simplifies the exposure of analytical queries as an API for application consumption. Fourth, the data pipelines help us organize ingestion and transformation workflows. Tinybird supports data-intensive applications and growing analytical workloads by reducing the engineering effort involved in building custom analytics features. I really appreciate the combination of SQL-based development and API delivery, which creates a straightforward workflow for the engineering teams.I feel that Tinybird's data governance and data security are on point and compliant with HIPAA and ISO certification guidelines, so there are no challenges on that part. The accuracy and reliability of Tinybird's AI outputs are really great. I have not seen any problems or challenges in the AI outputs; they are pretty good and on point, without any hallucinations so far.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a stable solution with an uptime of 99.99 percent."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of managing the gateway."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"It provides the flexibility to configure, switch, and manage configurations through cloud permissions or performance settings."
"We would definitely recommend sticking to native solutions because then you have one Hyperscale provider supporting the applications, storage, compute, and APIs."
"A most valuable feature of Amazon API Gateway is how quickly we can connect to backend services and have APIs accessible from anywhere."
"Tinybird is around two times faster."
"I really appreciate the combination of SQL-based development and API delivery, which creates a straightforward workflow for the engineering teams."
 

Cons

"The solution should include change data capture (CDC) features that will help reduce workload"
"The price could be lower."
"I am not completely satisfied with Technical Support. They were finding it difficult to get to the AWS API gateway."
"Amazon API Gateway needs to focus on minimizing latency."
"Its support for SAM integration could be made more accessible."
"Monitoring could be improved."
"One of the problems with using this solution is that you have to know a lot about the Amazon ecosystem, in terms of services, to be able to use it."
"We faced a few issues with the documentation."
"Tinybird can be improved by simplifying it and having more AI features in the future. It can also be much faster because sometimes it can still be a bit laggy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is cheap and based on the number of requests coming to Amazon API Gateway."
"I rate the platform's pricing a five out of ten."
"This is a pay-per-use service, where you only pay for what you use."
"I am satisfied with the price."
"It is somewhat costly, particularly when it introduces server-related features, which are often scheduled on our end."
"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."
