Amazon API Gateway
Amazon API Gateway handles the core lifecycle of building, deploying, and managing APIs on AWS. It serves as the entry point for client applications, routing requests to backend services like Lambda or EC2. This managed service abstracts away infrastructure concerns, letting teams focus on logic rather than server maintenance.
It fits teams needing a scalable API front-end without managing underlying servers. The pricing model offers a free tier for twelve months, which is useful for early-stage projects. However, costs kick in from $0.2500 per 1M minutes after that period, so usage monitoring becomes necessary to avoid unexpected charges as traffic grows.
